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 180° C (356° 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.

• Recommended media: Transparency for 

a Color Laser Printers produced by HP, 
Xerox and 3M.

• It is not recommended to use 

paperbacked transparencies such as 
Xerox 3R91334 which can cause a jam 
or be scratched.

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 180° C (356° 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.

Preprinted 
paper

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant 

ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release 
hazardous emissions when subjected to the 
machine’s fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F) 
for 0.1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and 

should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a 

moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes 
during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms 

and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is 
dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come 
off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
