•
Load specialty media one sheet at a time.
•
Use only materials recommended for use with laser printers.
•
To prevent specialty media, such as transparencies and label
sheets, from sticking together, remove each sheet from the
output tray as it is printed.
•
Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from
the machine.
•
Do not leave transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film, resulting in
spotty printing.
•
To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle
transparencies and coated paper carefully.
•
To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
•
Store unused materials at temperatures between 59
o
F and 86
o
F (15
o
C to 30
o
C). The relative humidity should be between
10% and 70%.
•
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of
180° C (356° F). Use only paper able to withstand these
temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing
hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to
determine whether the paper chosen is acceptable for laser
printers.
•
Verify that label adhesive materials can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 180
o
C (356
o
F) for 0.1 second.
•
Make sure there is no exposed adhesive material between
labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during
printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can
also damage machine components.
•
Do not load a sheet of labels through the machine more than
once. The adhesive backing is designed for only one pass
through the machine.
Note: Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet
or are wrinkled, bubbled, or damaged.
