3.1.1 Printing on special media
You can print not only on plain paper but also on special
media (transparencies / labels / envelopes / card stocks).
L Please refer to page 106 for information on recording
paper.
L To load paper, see page 16.
To print on transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing.
We recommend the following:
3M
®
CG3300/PP2500
L Do not stack more than 25 transparencies at a
time.
L After printing, place transparencies on a flat
surface to cool and to prevent them from curling.
L Do not re-use transparencies that have already been
fed through the unit. This includes transparencies
that have been fed through and ejected without being
printed on.
L Some types of transparencies have instructions
recommending which side to print on. If the print
quality is poor, try printing on the other side of a new
transparency.
To print on labels
Use labels designed for laser printing. We recommend
the following:
Avery
®
5160/5163/5660/5663/L7159/L7164
L Do not stack more than 25 labels at a time.
L Do not use the following types of labels:
–
Labels that are wrinkled, damaged or separated
from the backing sheet.
– Any sheet of labels that has spaces in it where
some of the labels have been removed.
– Labels that do not completely cover the backing
sheet as follows:
To print on envelopes
Use envelopes designed for laser printing. We
recommend the following:
–
High quality envelopes of 90 g/m
2
(24 lb) paper,
– Envelopes that have thin, sharply creased leading
edges,
– Envelopes that have diagonal seams, and
– Envelopes with a moisture content of 4 % to 6 % by
weight.
L Load envelopes with the sealing flap FACE DOWN.
L Do not stack more than 10 envelopes at a time.
Note:
L Wrinkles and waving may occur in some cases, even
if high quality envelopes are used.
L Avoid printing in high humidity. High humidity may
cause the envelope to curl or seal the envelope.
L Store envelopes away from moisture and humidity,
where they can lay flat and their edges will not be
bent or damaged.
Do not use envelopes with any of the following
characteristics (using these may result in paper
jams):
L Irregularly shaped envelopes
L Envelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dog-
ears or other damage
L Envelopes with side seam construction
L Highly textured envelopes, or envelopes with
extremely shiny surfaces
L Envelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip
L Envelopes with more than one sealing flap
L Self-adhesive envelopes
L Envelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased
L Embossed envelopes
L Envelopes that have previously been printed on
L Envelopes that include cotton and/or fiber material
