Tips on using transparencies
Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
•
Feed transparencies from a 250-sheet tray, a 550-sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
•
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure
transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Use transparencies that are 138–146 g/m
2
(37–39 lb. bond) in weight.
•
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Tips on using envelopes
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on envelopes:
•
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Note: Envelopes can be printed at a temperature up to 220°C (428°F) if Envelope Weight is set to Heavy and
Envelope Texture is set to Rough. Select these settings using the Embedded Web Server, or from the printer
control panel Paper menu.
•
For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m
2
(28 lb bond)
weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed
90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight.
•
Use only new envelopes.
