Preprinted Sheets
In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letterhead.
However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing, or
foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these effects
(heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit. For this
reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image.
Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper
tray. When using the manual feed slot, place paper with the printed side
facing up. For printing in portrait orientation, the letterhead should be at
the front of the tray. For landscape orientation, it should be at the right of
the tray. For more information on printing in different orientations, see
the later section of this chapter.
Transparencies
This printer can print on overhead transparency material.
• We recommend you to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit
when your printer has the duplex unit) so that transparencies are ejected
straight out the back to minimize curl.
The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.
• Use materials specially designed for laser printers or photocopiers.
• Always feed transparency material from the manual feeder or from the
(optional) multi-function feeder (MFF).
• To remove curls from printed transparency materials, use correct frames
or put a weight on them until they lay flat.
• Be sure to fan the transparency stack to prevent sheets from sticking
together.
