•
Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive
should be at least 1 mm (0.04 inch) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could
void the warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2‑mm (0.08‑inch) strip on the leading and
driver edge, and then use a non‑oozing adhesive.
•
Portrait orientation is recommended, especially when printing bar codes.
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.
