CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER 1-31 Labels and Transparencies The printer will print on most type of labels and transparencies designed for use with a laser printer. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic- based since such material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fusing unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the printer, because the label stock may stick to the drum or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire page with the only exposed spaces being lengthwise down the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jam or print problems. All labels and transparencies used in this printer must be able to withstand a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for a period of 0.1 seconds. Label and transparency sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in the User’s Guide. Labels and transparencies exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and cause damage to your printer. Print quality, reliability and performance of labels and transparencies cannot be guaranteed. DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF UNSATISFACTORY LABELS OR TRANSPARENCIES IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENTS.
CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER 1-33 ✒ ✒✒ ✒ Note • Before printing envelopes, you must fan the stack well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. Fig. 1-29 • Different types of paper should not be loaded at the same time in the paper tray, it may cause paper jams or misfeeds. • Do not print envelopes by Duplex printing. • Be sure to select the same paper size as the paper to be used from your application software, or correct printing cannot be obtained. • If your application software does not support paper size selection on its print menu, you can change the paper size with the MP Size setting in the Paper Menu on the Control Panel. For more information, see Menus in Chapter 3.
1-34 ✒ ✒✒ ✒ Note If envelopes get smudged during printing, set the print density to a higher value in the QUALITY settings with the panel operation switch for darker printouts. To adjust the print density setting, see “Control Panel” in Chapter 3. Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure. All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases. Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, some envelopes will have feeding and print quality problems because of their construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with a straight, well creased folds and should not have more than two thickness of paper along the lead edge. The envelope should lie flat and not have baggy or flimsy construction. Purchase quality envelopes only from a supplier who understands that the envelopes will be used in a laser printer. All envelopes should be tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results. ✒ ✒✒ ✒ Note The manufacturer neither warrants nor recommends the use of a particular envelope because envelope properties are subject to change by the envelope manufacturer. The entire responsibility for the quality and performance of the envelope lies with the customer.
