Chapter 6: Using the Printer
Loading Transparencies and

Adhesive Labels

The Multi-purpose tray holds up 10
transparencies or adhesive label sheets. Feed
transparencies or label sheets one at a time from
the Manual feed tray. For best results, print trans-
parencies and adhesive labels to the Face-up
output tray at the back of the printer. Remember
to toggle the Paper destination switch to its back
position when printing to the Face-up output tray
(see illustration on page 23). Do not load
transparencies or adhesive label sheets into the
optional 500-Sheet cassette.

Transparencies

When you are printing transparency film to the
Face-up output tray, always remove the first
printed transparency before feeding a second one
through. This prevents scratching the film surface
of the first transparency. Only use transparencies
that are designed for laser printers.
Adhesive Labels
NEC recommends that adhesive labels be fed
manually through the Manual feed tray to the
Face-up output tray. However, these may also be
loaded into the Multi-purpose tray like regular
paper.

Note: If you change media in the Multi-
purpose tray and you have selected
"Manual feed" as your paper source the
job may not continue printing until you
press the Operator panel button.
Adhesive labels consist of a top (print surface)
sheet, an adhesive layer, and a liner (peel-away
backing). Use labels that cover the entire surface
of the liner sheet. Labels placed on a liner sheet
with interrupting spaces make it difficult for
consistent feeding and may jam in your printer.
Using either tray, the image is printed on the side
facing up—so load adhesive labels with the label
side up, liner side down.
Note: You should fan the sheets before
loading.
