Selecting Preprinted Media And Letterhead; Printing On Letterhead - Dell 1350 Color User Manual

• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This
may result in a paper jam.
• Do not remove the PSI while a job is printing.
• Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the MPF or PSI.
• Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the
stack on a level surface.

Selecting Preprinted Media and Letterhead

When selecting preprinted media and letterhead paper for the printer:
• Use grain long paper for best results.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or
engraved printing process.
• Select paper that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
• Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic
copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225°C (437°F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the
fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these
requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper
supplier.
