Transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
3M®CG3300/CG5000
lLoad transparency sheets one page at a time for printing.
lRemove each transparency after printing and place it on a flat surface to cool and to prevent it
from curling.
lClose the paper stacker extender (p. 14) while printing to prevent transparencies from curling.
lDo not re-use transparencies that have already been fed through the fax machine. This includes
transparencies that have been fed through and ejected without being printed on.
lSome types of transparencies have instructions recommending which side to print on. If the print quality
is poor, try printing on the other side.
Labels
Use labels designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
Avery®5160/5161/5162/5163/5164/5165/5167/5168 
Xerox®LWH100/LWH110/LWH120/LWH130/LWH140 
lLoad label sheets one page at a time for printing.
lRemove each label after printing.
lDo not use the following types of labels:
— Labels that are wrinkled, damaged or separated from the backing sheet.
— Any sheet of labels that has spaces in it where some of the labels have been removed.
— Labels that do not completely cover the backing sheet (see below).

guides.
— High quality envelopes of 90 g/m2(24 lb.) paper,
— Envelopes that have thin sharply creased leading
edges, and
— Envelopes that have diagonal seams as shown right.
lYou can load up to 10 envelopes of 90 g/m2 (24 lb.)
paper 
at a time for printing.
lRemove each envelope after printing.
lWrinkles may occur in some cases, even if high quality
envelopes are used.
lAvoid printing in high humidity, above 70% relative
humidity (RH). High humidity may cause the envelope to
curl, pick up excess toner or seal the envelope.
lAvoid printing below 10 °C (50 °F) with less than 30% RH,
or it may cause light printing.
lStore envelopes away from moisture and humidity, where
they can lay flat and their edges will not be bent or
damaged. The humidity should not exceed 70% RH.
Do not use envelopes with any of the following
characteristics (using these may result in paper jams):
lIrregularly shaped envelopes
lEnvelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, 
dog-ears or other damage
lEnvelopes with side seam construction
lHighly textured envelopes, or with extremely 
shiny surfaces
lEnvelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip
lEnvelopes with more than one flap to be sealed
lSelf-adhesive envelopes
lEnvelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased
lEmbossed envelopes
lEnvelopes that have previously been printed on
lEnvelopes that include cotton and/or fiber material
Do not attempt to print on any of the following types of
envelopes (these may cause damage to the fax machine):
lEnvelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings
lEnvelopes with transparent windows
lEnvelopes that use encapsulated types of adhesive that do
not require moistening but rely on pressure to seal them
Use envelopes designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
