Tips on using transparencies
•
Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
•
Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
•
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous
emissions.
Note: If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the
Paper menu, then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F).
•
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems.
•
Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking
together.
Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
•
For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40
percent. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F)
with relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.
•
Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
•
Store individual packages on a flat surface.
•
Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
•
Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton
and wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
