Dell 3110 Color Laser, User Manual

Page: 118 / 451

You can load up to 75 sheets of transparencies in the multipurpose feeder for a single print job. Before
buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first.
When printing on transparencies:
Set the paper type to Transparency from the printer driver to avoid damaging your printer.
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Do not use regular transparencies.
Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring,
offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. This may result in poor print quality.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Non-white transparencies are not supported with the printer.
Selecting Transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability
depend on the transparency used. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying
a sample first.
The paper type setting for the multipurpose feeder should be set to
Transparency
to help prevent jams.
(See " Tray Settings " for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to
determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that reach temperatures as high
as 205°C (401°F). Only use transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting,
discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
You can load a stack of envelopes up to 15 mm (0.59 in.) in height in the multipurpose feeder for a single
print job. Depending on the type of envelope and how they have been stored, loading a large quantity of
envelopes, within the maximum range, may not feed into the printer. If this happens, reduce the number of
envelopes in the stack. Depending on the choice of envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of light
wrinkling. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. See
"
Loading the Multipurpose Feeder " for instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
Set the print media source to the multipurpose feeder. Set the paper type to Envelope , and select the
correct size of envelope from the printer driver.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105
g/m
2
(28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less.
