Transparencies
Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the machine before
buying large quantities:
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able
to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or
releasing hazardous emissions.
• Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, which can cause poor print quality.
• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
• Load one transparency in the Bypass tray.
Selecting Transparencies
The machine can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print
quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the
transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are
compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 205°C (401°F). Use only
transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring,
offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
You can load one envelope at a time in the Bypass tray. Try a sample of any envelopes you
are considering using with the machine before buying large quantities. See page 54 for
instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelope that are
designed for use in laser printers.
• For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m
