Printing on Heavy Paper
Guidelines
• Heavy paper is any paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m
2
). The maximum paper weight
available for your printer is 43 lb (163g/m
2
).
• Do not use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 43 lb, or 163 g/m
2
bond).
Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessive
mechanical wear can result.
1
Open the Manual Tray and the rear
output tray.
2
Load paper with print side up, and
against the left edge of the tray.
Adjust the guide to the width of paper.
3
When you print on heavy paper, select
Bond in the Paper Type section.then
configure the paper source, and size in
the software application. For details, see
page 5.3.
4.12
PRINT MEDIA
Printing on Labels
Guidelines
• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C
(392°F) for 0.1 second.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas
can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing
is designed for one pass through the printer.
• Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, separated from the backing sheet, or
damaged in any way.
1
Open the Manual Tray and the rear
output tray.
2
Load labels with print side up, and
against the left edge of the tray.
Adjust the guide to the width of paper.
3
When you print on labels, configure the
paper source, type and size in the
software application. For details, see
page 5.3.
Note: To prevent them from sticking
together, remove label sheet from the
output tray as they are printed out.
4.13
PRINT MEDIA
Printing on Transparencies
Guidelines
• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
• Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have
any torn edge.
• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your
fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.
• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.
• To prevent transparencies from curling, use the standard output tray. (This is for
transparencies only; for other media, use the rear output tray to reduce curling.)
1
Open the Manual Tray by pulling it down
toward you.
2
Load transparencies with print side
up, and the top with the adhesive
strip entering the printer first.
Adjust the guide to the width of paper.
3
When you print on transparencies,
configure the paper source, type and
size in the software application. For
details, see page 5.3.
Notes:
• To prevent transparencies from sticking
together, remove them from the output
tray as they are printed.
• Place transparencies on a flat surface
after removing them from the printer.
4.14
PRINT MEDIA
Printing on Preprinted Paper
1
Load letterheads into the tray you want
to use as shown in the figures.
Adjust the guide to the width of paper.
2
When you print a document on the
paper, configure the paper source, type
and size in the software application. For
details, see page 5.3.
Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through
the printer. (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example)
Guidelines
• Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F
(205°C) for 0.1 second.
• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer
rollers.
• Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
Load with the design face up,
top edge toward the printer.
Load with the
design face down,
bottom edge
toward the printer.

PRINT MEDIA
Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media
1
Open the Manual Tray. Open the rear
output tray and pull the extender out to
its full-length position.
2
Load print media with print side up,
short edge first and against the left
edge of the tray.
Adjust the guide to the width of paper.
3
Configure the paper source, type and
size in the printer driver’s properties
(see page 5.3) and print.
Postcards, 3.9 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized media can be printed with the
ML-1440 printer. The minimum size is 98 by 148 mm (3.9 by 5.83 in.) and the maximum size
is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.).
Guidelines
• Always insert the short-edge into the Manual tray first. If you want to print in landscape
mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may
cause a paper jam.
• Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm (3.9 in.) wide or 148 mm(5.83 in.) long.
• Set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) away from the edges of the media in the software
application.
Note: If you are using A6-sized paper or
the size of your print media is not listed
in the Paper Size box in the Paper tab
of the printer driver properties, select
Custom Paper and set the paper size
manually.

Using Page Overlay
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD
as a special file format that can be printed on any document
you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay
containing the exact same information that is currently on
your letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with
your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted
letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to tell the
printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
