Media type			Guidelines
Transparencies	•	To avoid damaging the machine, use only
		transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
	•	Transparencies used in the machine must be
		able to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing
		temperature.
	• Place them on a flat surface after removing them
		from the machine.
	•	Do not leave them in the paper tray for long
		periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate
		on them, resulting in spotty printing.
	•	To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,
		handle them carefully.
	•	To avoid fading, do not expose printed
		transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
	•	Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,
		curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels	•	To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
		designed for use in laser printers.
	•	When selecting labels, consider the following
		factors:
		-	Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
			stable at 180 °C, the machine’s fusing
			temperature.
		-	Arrangement: Only use labels with no
			exposed backing between them. Labels can
			peel off sheets that have spaces between the
			labels, causing serious jams.
		-	Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with
			no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.
		-	Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,
			bubbles, or other indications of separation.
	•	Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive
		material between labels. Exposed areas can
		cause labels to peel off during printing, which
		can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can
		also cause damage to machine components.
	• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine
		more than once. The adhesive backing is
		designed for only a single pass through the
		machine.
	•	Do not use labels that are separating from the
		backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
		otherwise damaged.
Card stock or	•	Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm wide
custom-sized		or 148 mm long.
materials	•	In the software application, set margins at least
		6,4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Media type		Guidelines
Preprinted	•	Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
paper		ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
		hazardous emissions when subjected to the
		machine’s fusing temperature of 180 °C for
		0,1 second.
	•	Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
		should not adversely affect printer rollers.
	•	Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
		moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
		during storage.
	•	Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms
		and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is
		dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come
		off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Loading paper

In the tray 1

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray 1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 plain paper.

You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. For order information for an optional tray, see page 12.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray 2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.
