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.

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

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 550 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 550 sheets of paper. For order information for an optional tray, see page 12.1.

Loading paper in the tray 1 or optional tray 2

1To load paper, pull open the paper Tray and place paper with the side you want to print facing up.

2After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the multi- purpose tray. See page 5.8 for copying and faxing or the Software Section for PC-printing.
