Letterhead
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F)
without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner
or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements;
latex inks might not.
Printing on letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead you have
chosen is acceptable for laser MFPs.
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when
loading letterhead in the print media sources.
Note: It is possible to load letterhead for simplex (single-sided) or duplex (two-sided)
printing. See Paper Loading for more information.
Transparencies
You can feed transparencies from the standard 250-sheet tray or the multipurpose feeder. Try a
sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the MFP before buying large quantities.
