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 machines.

 

-

When selecting labels, consider the following fac-

 

 

tors:

 

-

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be sta-

 

 

ble at your machine’s fusing temperature. Check

 

 

your machine’s specification to view the fusing

 

 

temperature, see page 126.

 

-

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, bub-

 

 

bles, 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 or

custom-sized

356 mm long.

materials

• In the software application, set margins at least

 

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

GUIDELINES

 

 

Preprinted

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink

paper

that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous

 

emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing

 

temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s

 

specification to view the fusing temperature, see

 

page 126.

 

• 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.

 

 

CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE PAPER IN THE PAPER TRAY

To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray.

1 paper length guide

2 paper width guide

If you have installed an optional high capacity feeder, refer to Quick Install Sheet to adjust paper size.

1.Adjust the paper length guide to the desired paper length. It is preset to Letter or A4 size depending on the country. To load another size, hold the lever and move the length guide to the corresponding position.
