Guidelines

 

 

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 (356° F), 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,

Transparencies

 

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.

It is not recommended to use paperbacked transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334 which can cause a jam or be scratched.

Guidelines

 

 

 

 

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 (356° F), 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 (5 inches) of curl in any

Labels

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm

Card stock or

 

(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.

6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of

Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant

 

 

ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release

 

 

hazardous emissions when subjected to the

 

 

machine’s fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F)

 

 

for 0.1 second.

paper

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.
