Xerox Printer fwww manual •To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints

Media type 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.
		Caution
		• Recommended media: Transparency for
		a Color Laser Printers produced by HP,
		Xerox and 3M.

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

Media type			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.
custom-sized	•	In the software application, set margins at least
materials		6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of
		the material.
	•	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.
	•	Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
Preprinted		should not adversely affect printer rollers.
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.
