.
Caution:Damage caused by using unsupported paper, transparencies, and other specialty

Guidelines
■Remove all paper before loading transparencies in the tray.
■Do not load more than 25 sheets in Tray 1 (MPT). Overloading the tray may cause the 
printer to jam.
■Handle transparencies by the edges using both hands to avoid fingerprints and creases, 
which may cause poor print quality.
■Fan transparencies before loading in the paper tray.
This section explains how to print on transparencies.

Loading Transparencies
Note:Transparencies with a white frame and full-color transparencies cannot be used.
1.After carefully fanning a small stack of transparencies, load them into Tray 1 (MPT) with 
the side to be printed facing down. Load no more than 25 transparencies at a time.
2.Slide the paper guides to the size of the transparencies.
3.Pull out the output tray extension when loading paper, such as transparencies.
Printing on Transparencies
When MPT Mode is set to Panel Specified, you need to set the paper type and size settings 
for the tray on the control panel in advance. See Setting Paper Types and Sizes on page 4-7.
The way to display the printer Properties dialog box differs according to the application 
software. Refer to the manual of your respective application software.
Printing transparencies continuously may lead to the output transparencies sticking to each 
other. Remove the transparencies from the output tray after about 20 sheets, and then fan them 
to lower their temperatures.

1.From the File menu, select Print.
2.Select this printer as the printer to be used and click Preferences to display the Properties 
dialog box.

Guidelines
■Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Paper Sizes and Weights table. 
Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the 
envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
■It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness 
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the 
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
■Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
■Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of 
the envelopes.
■If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made 
specifically for laser printers.
Caution:Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. 
Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, 
service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is 
available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please 
contact your local representative for details.

side must be facing down. You can load envelopes up to the maximum fill line in the tray at 
one time.
The following explains how to load envelopes in Tray 1 (MPT) using Monarch as an example.
Note:The reverse side of the envelope cannot be printed on. Envelopes can get wrinkled or 
the print quality is reduced depending on the type used.
