							Media and tray_ 31
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can 
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to 
machine components.
• Do not ru
 n a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The 
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the 
machine.
• Do 
not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are 
wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/Custom-sized paper
Postcards, cards and other custom-sized  materials can be printed with this 
machine.
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 183 mm 
(7.20 inches) long.
• In
 software applications, set the margins at least 6.4  mm (0.25 inches) 
away fro
m the edges of the material.
Letterhead/Preprinted paper
Single-sidedDouble-sided
Face up
Face down
• Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be pr inted with heat-resistant ink that 
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected 
to the machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1 
second. 
• Letterhea
 d/ Preprinted paper ink mu st be non-flammable and should not 
adversely affect machine rollers.
• Forms and
  letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to 
prevent changes during storage.
• Before you loa
 d letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the 
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted 
paper, reducing print quality.
Using the output support
 The surface of the output tray ma y become hot if you print a large 
number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the  surface, and do not allow children near it.
The printed pages stack on the output  suppo
 rt, and the output support will 
help the printed pages to align. The prin ter sends printouts to the output tray 
by default.

document.
