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.
