Tips on using letterhead

•Use letterhead designed specifically for laser/LED printers.

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

•Before loading letterhead, flex the sheets to prevent them from sticking together.

•Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead.

Tips on using transparencies

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

•Feed transparencies from the standard tray or from the multipurpose feeder.

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

•Use transparencies designed specifically for laser/LED 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.
