  • Page 39: Envelope

    DO NOT use card stock that is Mixed with any other media in the trays (as this will cause media misfeed- ing) Envelope Print on the front (address) side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of three layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these lay- ered regions may be lost or faded.

  • Page 40: Labels

    Labels A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and a carrier sheet: The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification. The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhe- sive should come through on the surface.

  • Page 41: Letter Head

    Are precut or perforated Shiny backed paper Letter Head You can print continuously with letterhead. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.

  • Page 42: Transparency

    Use postcards that are Approved for laser printing DO NOT use postcards that are Coated Designed for inkjet printers Precut or perforated Preprinted or multicolored If the postcard is warped, press on the warped area before putting it in Tray 1. Folded or wrinkled Transparency Do not fan transparencies before loading them.

  • Page 43: Coated Paper

    If you have problems feeding 50 sheets, try loading only 1–10 sheets at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may cause static buildup, causing feeding problems. Capacity Tray 1 Tray 2 Driver Transparency Media Type Duplexing Not supported Always first test a small quantity of a particular type of transparency.

  • Page 44: Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area

    Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4 mm (0.157") from the edges of the media. Each media size has a specific image- able area, the maximum area on which the machine can print clearly and with- out distortion.

  • Page 45: Media Storage

    Media Storage Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding. If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack- aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
  • Page 46 When printing on postcards, make sure that the output bin is horizontal. Press and hold in the button on the right side of the output bin to lower the bin to the horizontal position. In addition, the output bin extension can be pulled out to two different positions.

  • Page 47: Loading Media

    Loading Media Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of the media. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray. Do not fan transparencies. Note Although this machine was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper.
