Media and tray_ 46
•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the
printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.
•Recommended media: Transparency for color laser printers produced
by Xerox, such as 3R 91331(A4) and 3R 2780(Letter), are
recommended.
Base type transparency (ex. Xerox 3R3117) results in better image and
paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) or
removable stripe (3R3108) ones.
•Transparency with static electricity can cause image quality
problems.
•Depending on the selection or storage conditions of the
transparency, jam or image scratch might occur.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to
view the fusing temperature. (See "General specifications" on
page 91.)
-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/ Custom-sized paper
•Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5
inches) long.
•In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
Letterhead / Preprinted paper
•Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected
to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your
machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature. (See "General
specifications" on page 91.)
•Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect machine rollers.
•Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to
prevent changes during storage.
•Before you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
paper, reducing print quality.
Used paper
When loading used paper, printed side should be facing up with an uncurled
edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper
around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
•Used paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt,
vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the
machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s
specification to view the fusing temperature. (See "General
specifications" on page 91.)
