• 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 about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams and may even
damage the fuser.
• For the best print qual
ity, position margins no closer than 15 mm from
the edges of the envelope.
• Avo
id printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adh
esives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s
fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F).
-Arra
ngement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between
them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
-Cur
l: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of
curl in any direction.
-Co
ndition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
• Ma
ke 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 ru
n 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 98 mm (3.9 inches) wide or 148 mm
(5.8 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).
• L
etterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect machine rollers.
• F
orms 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
paper, reducing print quality.
Used paper
When loading used paper, printed side should be facing up with an uncurled
edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper
around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
• Used paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt,
vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the
