Guidelines for special materials

Paper Type Guidelines

Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the

quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes,

consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should

not exceed 90 g/m

(24 lb) or jamming may

occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should

lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and

should not contain air.

- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,

nicked, or otherwise damaged.

- Temperature: You should use envelopes that are

compatible with the heat and pressure of the

machine during operation.

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and

well creased folds.

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows,

coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic

materials.

• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope

extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with

more than one flap that folds over to seal must use

adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing

temperature of 208° C (406.4° F) for 0.1 second.

The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling,

creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer

than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the

envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s

seams meet.

Unacceptable

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to

withstand 208° C (406.4° F), the machine’s fusing

temperature.

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them

from the machine.

• Do not leave them 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.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following

factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable

at 208° C (406.4° F), the machine’s fusing

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 (5 inches) of curl in any

direction.

- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,

bubbles, or other indications of separation.

• 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.

• Do 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.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the

backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or

otherwise damaged.

Card stock or

custom-sized

materials

• Do not print on media smaller than 76 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.
