Print Material Guidelines
Transparencies
You can feed transparencies from the 250-sheet input tray
or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any transpar-
encies you are considering using with the printer before
buying large quantities.
Do not load transparencies in the optional 500-sheet
drawer. To load transparencies in the 250-sheet input tray,
see page 124. To load transparencies in the multipurpose
feeder, see page 141.
Warning! When printing on
transparencies, be sure to set
the PAPER TYPE to Transpar-
ency from the printer driver, and
from either the operator panel or
from MarkVision to avoid dam-
aging your printer.
When printing on transparencies:
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser
printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand
temperatures of 175°C(347°F) without melting, dis-
coloring or releasing hazardous emissions.
• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fin-
gerprints on the transparencies.
• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to pre-
vent sheets from sticking together.
Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes in the multipurpose
feeder. Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering
using with the printer before buying large quantities. See
page 141 for loading instructions.
Note: When printing on enve-
lopes, be sure to set the
PAPER

rect envelope size from the
