The printer can print directly on to transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency
used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies
up to 195° C (383° F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
Envelopes are supported in
Multi-purpose Feeder
only. Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before
buying large quantities. See
"Using the Multi-purpose Feeder"
for instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight for the
Multi-purpose Feeder
with cotton content 25 percent or less.
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl or twist
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
Have an interlocking design
Have postage stamps attached
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
Have nicked edges or bent corners
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures up to 195° C (383° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing
hazardous emissions.
If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using,
check with the envelope supplier.
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. The end of the envelope with the stamp area
enters the
Multi-purpose Feeder
first.
See
"Using the Multi-purpose Feeder"
for instructions on loading an envelope.
NOTE:
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
