Specialty Paper Guidelines
• Read all instructions that come with special paper for
important information regarding how to achieve the highest
print quality.
• It is recommended to feed one sheet at a time for special
paper types.
• For transparency film, follow these guidelines:
- Cover the printed side of the film with a sheet of plain (not
coated) paper before storing; This is recommended even if
placed in a clear file or plastic holder.
- Do not leave the film in the paper tray for long periods of
time as dust and dirt may accumulate, resulting in poor
copy quality.
- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to
prolonged direct sunlight.
- Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers
from their protective packaging until ready for use.
- Store unused film at temperatures between 59
o
F to 86
o
F
(15
o
C to 30
o
C). The relative humidity should be between
10% and 70%.
• For labels, follow these guidelines:
- 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 separating from the backing
sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
• If the print density of your page is very high, light paper
stock may curl slightly due to the large amount of toner. To
print dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.
• Do not use paper that is thicker than the specifications as
it may damage the laser printer cartridge.
