Printing on specialty media

Tips on using letterhead

•
Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers.
•
Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities.
•
Before loading letterhead, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
•
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. For information on how to load letterhead, see:
–
"Loading trays" on page 77
–
"Using the multipurpose feeder" on page 81

Tips on using transparencies

Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
•
Feed transparencies from a 250-sheet tray, a 550-sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
•
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure
transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Use transparencies that are 138–146 g/m
•
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
•
We recommend Lexmark part number 12A5010 for A4-size transparencies and Lexmark part number 70X7240
for letter-size transparencies.

Tips on using envelopes

Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on envelopes:
•
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Note: Envelopes can be printed at a temperature up to 220°C (428°F) if Envelope Weight is set to Heavy and
Envelope Texture is set to Rough. Select these settings using the Embedded Web Server, or from the printer
control panel Paper menu.
•
For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m
weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed
2
90 g/m (24 lb bond) weight.
•
Use only new envelopes.
