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 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.
•
Base type transparency (ex. Xerox 3R3117) results in better image and
paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) or
removable stripe (3R3108) ones.
Depending on the selection or storage conditions of the
transparency, 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:
-
Adhesives:
The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to
view the fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F).
-
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
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/Custom-sized paper
•
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.

•
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected
to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your
machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature (about
170°C(338 °F).
•
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect machine rollers.
•
Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to
prevent changes during storage.
•
Before you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
