Printing 86 Printing on specialty media Tips on using letterhead • Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers. • Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Before loading letterhead, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. • Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. For information on how to load letterhead, see: - "Loading the standard or optional 250‑ or 550‑sheet tray" on page 60 - "Loading the 2000‑sheet tray" on page 63 - "Loading the multipurpose feeder" on page 66 Tips on using transparencies Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities. When printing on transparencies: • Feed transparencies from a 250‑sheet tray, a 550‑sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder. • Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. • Use transparencies that are 138-146 g/m2 (37-39 lb. bond) in weight. • To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. • Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. • We recommend Lexmark part number 12A5010 for A4‑size transparencies and Lexmark part number 70X7240 for letter‑size transparencies. Tips on using envelopes Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities. When printing on envelopes: • Feed envelopes from the multipurpose feeder or the optional envelope feeder. • Set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size. • Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or releasing hazardous emissions. • For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All‑cotton envelopes must not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight. • Use only new envelopes. • To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that: - Have excessive curl or twist - Are stuck together or damaged in any way
