Media and tray_ 46
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s
fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams and may even dam-
age the fuser.
• For the best print qual
ity, position margins no closer than 15 mm from
the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use
in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Place them on a fl
at surface after removing them from the machine.
• Do n
ot leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avo
id smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.
• To a
void fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sun-
light.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn
edges.
• Do not use tra
nsparencies that separates from the backing sheet.
• To
prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the
printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.
• Base
type transparency (ex. Xerox 3R3117) results in better image and
paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) or remov-
able stripe (3R3108) ones.
Depending on the selection or storage conditions of the transpar-
ency, jam or image scratch might occur.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- A
dhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F).
- Arra
ngement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between
them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
- Cur
l: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm
of curl in any direction.
- Co
ndition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indica-
tions of separation.
• Do not use labels with slick back.
• D
o not use partially used labels.
• D
o not use the labels with separated edges.
• Make
sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to
machine components.
• D
o not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the
machine.
• D
o not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrin-
kled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/Custom-sized paper
• Do not print on media smaller than 76.2 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm
(5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
• U
sable minimum weight of 3*5 inches paper is 105g/m². (28 lbs bond)
• En
sure that 76.2 mm (3 inches) X 127 mm (5 inches) is not curled or has
no torn edges. Depending on the curl of 76.2 mm (3 inches) X 127 mm
(5
inches) paper, jam might occur.
