2. Learning the basic usage
Envelope
Printing successfully on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.
If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease, or black bold lines,
open the rear cover and pull down the pressure lever on the right
side about 90 degrees and try printing again. Keep the rear cover
opened during printing.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise; jams may
occur.
-Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and
should not contain air.
-Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-Temperature: should resist 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.

Media and tray 35
2. Learning the basic usage
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the
way to the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
• 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 for 0.1 second (about 170°C
(338 °F)). 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
from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed
for use in laser printers.
• Must 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.
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.
1 2
Media and tray 36
2. Learning the basic usage
• Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
• To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let
the printed sheets stack up as they are being printed out.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in
laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing
temperature. Check your machine’s specifications 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: 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.
Media and tray 37
2. Learning the basic usage
Card stock/ Custom-sized paper
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25
inches) away from the edges of the material.
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up
with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with
paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not
guaranteed.
• 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 (about 170°C
(338°F)).
• Must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine
rollers.
• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper
is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
paper, reducing print quality.
