Envelopes
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the 
envelopes. 
To print on an envelope, the stamp area should be on the left side and the 
e

nd of the envelope with the stamp area  should enter the printer first in the 
center of the tray.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- We
ight:  The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 
90  g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur.
- Co
nstruction:  Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less 
than 6  mm ( 0.24 inch.) of curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition:  Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor 
dama

ged.
- Te
mperature:  Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and 
pressure
 of the machine during operation.
• Use only wel
 l-constructed envelopes wi th sharp-and well-creased folds.
• Do not use sta
 mped envelopes.
• Do not use envel
 opes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, 
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damag
 ed or poorly made envelopes.
• Be su
re the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to 
the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip  or with more than one flap that 
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s 
fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps 
and strips might cause wrinkling,  creasing, or jams, and may even 
damage the fuser.
• For the best print qual
 ity, position margins no closer than 15  mm ( 0.59 
inch.) from th
e edges of the envelope.
• Avo
id printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparencies
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser 
printers.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Pl
ace them on a flat surface afte r removing them from the machine.
• D
o not leave unused transparencies on  the paper tray for long periods of 
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• T
o avoid smudging caused by finge rprints, handle transparencies 
carefully.
• T
o avoid fading, do not expose pr inted transparencies to prolonged 
sunlight.
• En
sure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn 
edges.
• D
o not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
•T
o prevent transparencies from sticki ng to each other, do not let the 
printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out. 
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser 
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adh
esives:  The adhesive material should be stable at your 
ma
chine’s fusing temperature  (about 170°C (338 °F)). 
- Arra
ngement:  Only use labels with no exposed backing between 
th
em. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the 
labels, causing serious jams.
- Cur
l:  Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13  mm 
(0.51 inch.) of 
curl in any direction.
- Co
ndition:  Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other 
indi
cations of separation.
• Make
 sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. 
Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							Media and tray_ 32
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.

Using overlays
An overlay is content you store on your hard disk drive that can be 
superimposed over any documen t you print. An overlay is often used to take 
the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you 
can create an overlay containing exactly the same information that is 
currently on your letterhead. To pr int a letter with your company’s 
letterhead, you do not need to load  preprinted letterhead paper in the 
machine, instead you can just prin t the letterhead overlay on your 
document.
Creating a new overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay file 
containing your content.
1. Crea
te or open a document containing the content you want to use in 
a new page overlay. Position the items exactly where you want them 
to appear when they are added to the original.
2. To
 save the document as an overlay, access  Printing Preferences. 
(See  Opening printing preferences on page  34.)

7. Cli
ck  OK or Print  until you exit the  Print window. 8.
The
 file is not printed. Instead, it  is stored on your computer hard disk 
drive.
 The overlay document size must match same as the document 
you print. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.
Using an overlay
After an overlay has been created, it  is ready to be printed with your 
document. To print an overlay on your document:
