Media Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes or other special media please adhere to these guidelines:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print
quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations or
texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the
floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep
it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust
and moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Always use paper and other media that conform with the specifications.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds:
• DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
• DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic
materials.
• DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Only use the special media recommended for use in laser printers.
• To prevent special media such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove
them from the exit tray as they are printed.
• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
• Do not leave the special media in the Bypass Tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may
accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies and coated paper carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Store unused media at temperatures between 59
°F and 86°F (15°C to 30°C). The relative humidity
should be between 10% and 70%.
• When loading paper, do not fill above the 28lb (105g) or Maximum Fill line.
• Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200
o
C (392
o
F) for 0.1
second.
• Ensure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
CAUTION: Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper
jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is
designed for one pass through the machine.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
