[. . . ] Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 180C (365F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. In other countries, see the table on page 114 for a listing of phone numbers. Changing the Paper Type Always set the Paper Type to Transparency when printing transparencies. The printer will adjust the fuser temperature and engine speed to ensure the best possible print quality. When you print transparencies, you will experience a slight delay before printing starts as the printer warms the fuser to the higher temperature. Black and white transparencies print at approximately 8 ppm and color transparencies print at approximately 1. 8 ppm. 100 Chapter 6: Media guidelines Loading transparencies Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. Load transparencies only in the multipurpose feeder or tray 1. Multipurpose feeder Paper tray Chapter 6: Media guidelines 101 Envelopes You can load up to 9 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Load envelopes with the flap side up with the return address positioned to enter the printer last. To ensure the best print quality, set Paper Type to Envelope and select the correct envelope size before sending the job to print. When printing on envelopes: Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities. For best performance and fewer paper jams, do not use envelopes that: Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing Use metal clasps or string ties Have postage stamps attached Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 195C (383F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Envelopes removed for clarity 102 Chapter 6: Media guidelines Labels If you need to print labels, use paper labels designed for laser printers. Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels, as shown at left. Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 195C (383F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD. When printing on labels: Acceptable labels Unacceptable labels Use only paper labels. Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make the labels liquid-resistant. From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the Paper Type to Labels. Card stock Note: Load card stock in the multipurpose feeder only. Do not load more than 30 sheets of card stock into the multipurpose feeder. Loading more than 30 sheets of card stock or using the wrong paper source may cause paper jams or a failure to feed. You can load a small quantity of heavier paper in the multipurpose feeder. The properties of the card stock you choose--such as the orientation of the paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and texture--can affect the print quality. For for optimum results, we recommend using: Springhill Index Plus 90 lb card stock For more information on card stock your printer supports, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD. [. . . ] A printer message that provides information on the state of the printer. Color produced by mixing primary colors to produce a pigment or dye that reflects one wavelength of light and absorbs (or subtracts) all others. A unique set of alphanumeric characters and symbols the printer uses to print the requested font. Different symbol sets offer the diverse characters required for different languages or symbol-intense applications. [. . . ]
