Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your
machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature of about 170 °C (338 °F).
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers.
Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
Before you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process,
wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
