Media Guidelines
164
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes or other special media please adhere
to these guidelines:
Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled or torn paper can cause paper
•
jams and poor print quality.
Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering,
•
perforations or texture that is too smooth or too rough.
Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or
•
shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper,
whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be
•
used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
Always use paper and other media that conform with the specifications
•
detailed in page 206.
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds:
•
DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
•
DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or
•
other synthetic materials.
DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•
Only use the special media recommended for use in laser printers.
•
To prevent special media such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking
•
together, remove them from the exit tray as they are printed.
Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
•
Do not leave the special media in the bypass tray for long periods of time. Dust
•
and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.
To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies and coated
•
paper carefully.
To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged
•
sunlight.
Store unused media at temperatures between 59
•
The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
When loading paper, do not fill above the Maximum Fill Line.

Verify that your labels' adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of
•
o o
