Dell 1600n Multifunction Mono Laser Printer - Manual (Page 44)

Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, which can cause poor print quality.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Load one transparency in the manual feeder.
Selecting Transparencies
The multi-function printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality
and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are
considering before buying large quantities.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser
printers that heat transparencies to 205° C (401° F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand
these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
You can load one envelope at a time in the manual feeder. Try a sample of any envelopes you are
considering using with the multi-function printer before buying large quantities. See
page 64 for instructions
on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in
laser printers.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m 2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 90
g/m 2 (24 lb bond) weight for the manual feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 percent or less.
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl or twist
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or 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
