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 | |
356 mm long. | ||
materials | • In the software application, set margins at least | |
| 6.4 mm away from the edges of the material. | |

Preprinted | • Letterhead must be printed with |
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 |
| not adversely affect printer rollers. |
| • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a |
| |
| 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
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.
