Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in
laser printers.
• In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality would
be lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on the
overhead projector.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand the
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
• Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged
sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.
• Do not use transparencies 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.
• Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by Xerox, such
as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780(Letter).
• Prints made on transparency film with this printer are not compatible with
overhead projectors and may appear as a black and white image if
projected.

Labels
Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing down.
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s
fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second.
