Selecting Transparencies

The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability
depend on the transparency used. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying
a sample first.

The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See "

Paper Type

" for detailed

information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your
transparencies are compatible with laser printers that reach temperatures as high as 205°C (401°F). Only
use transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

Envelopes

You can load envelopes in the multipurpose feeder for a single print job. Before buying large quantities of
any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. See "

Loading the Multipurpose Feeder

" for

instructions on loading an envelope.

When printing on envelopes:

Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.

Set the print media source to MPF. Set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the correct size of
envelope from the printer driver.

Use only new, undamaged envelopes.

For best performance, do not use envelopes that:

Have excessive curl or twist

Are stuck together or damaged in any way

Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, embossing

Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

Have an interlocking design

Have postage stamps attached

Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position

Have nicked edges or bent corners

Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes

Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling,
wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are
considering, check with the envelope supplier.
