Handling Paper
Preprinted Sheets
In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letterhead.
However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing,
or foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these
effects (heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit.
For this reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image.
Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper
tray. When using the manual feed slot, place paper with the printed
side facing up. For printing in portrait orientation, the letterhead
should be at the front of the tray. For landscape orientation, it should
be at the right of the tray. For more information on printing in
different orientations, see the later section of this chapter.
Transparencies
This printer can print on overhead transparency material.
l
We recommend you to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex
unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that transparencies
are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.
The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.
l
Use materials specially designed for laser printers or photocopiers.
l
Always feed transparency material from the multi-function feeder
(MFF; standard for 16ADV and option for 16DV). Use the
manual feed slot of the printer if the MFF is removed.
l
To remove curls from printed transparency materials, use correct
frames or put a weight on them until they lay flat.
l
Be sure to fan the transparency stack to prevent sheets from
sticking together.
