Using 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.

Tips on using transparencies

•

Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.

•

Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder.

•

Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures

up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Note:

If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the Paper menu,

then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F).

•

Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Tips on using envelopes

Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.

•

Use envelopes designed specifically for laser/LED printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure that

the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 220°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or

releasing hazardous emissions.

•

For best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m

(24 lb bond) paper or 25% cotton. All

‑

cotton envelopes

must not exceed 70 g/m

(20 lb bond) weight.

•

Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages.

To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:

–

Have excessive curl or twist

–

Are stuck together or damaged in any way

–

Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing

–

Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars
