Tips on using transparencies

•Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.

•Feed transparencies from the multipurpose feeder only.

•From the Paper menu, set the MP Feeder Type to Transparency.

•Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

•To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

•Before loading transparencies, flex the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

•We recommend Lexmark transparencies. For ordering information, see the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Tips on using envelopes

Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.

•Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure that the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 220°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or releasing hazardous emissions.

•For best performance, use envelopes made from 90‑g/m2 (24‑lb bond) paper or 25% cotton. All‑cotton envelopes must not exceed 70‑g/m2 (20‑lb bond) weight.

•Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages.

•To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:

–Have excessive curl or twist.

–Are stuck together or damaged in any way.

–Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing.

–Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars.

–Have an interlocking design.

–Have postage stamps attached.

–Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.

–Have bent corners.

–Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes.

•Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.
