Paper

For best results, use conventional 75 g/m

2

(20 lb) paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality

and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.

Labels

Print labels from tray 1 using the straight-through output path. See

Print on transparencies or labels

and

Straight-through output path

for more information.

CAUTION

Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive

degrades and might damage the printer.

Label construction

When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer's maximum
temperature.

Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets
that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) of curl in any direction.

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

Transparencies

Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer's maximum temperature.

Envelopes

Print envelopes from tray 1 using the straight-through paper path. See

Print on an envelope

and

Straight-

through output path

for more information.

Envelope construction

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
manufacturers but also within a box from the same manufacturer. When selecting envelopes, consider
the following components:

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m

2

(24 lb), or jamming might

result.

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl and
should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air may cause problems. Do not use envelopes that
contain clasps, snaps, tie strings, transparent windows, holes, perforations, cut outs, synthetic
materials, stamping, or embossing. Do not use envelopes with adhesives that do not require
moistening, but rely instead on pressure to seal them.

Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Make
sure that the envelopes do not have any exposed adhesive.

Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3.5 x 6.3 in.) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 in.).
