The extra flapsand strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams and may evendamage the fuser.• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.59inch.) from the edges of the envelope.• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.TransparenciesTo avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laserprinters.In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality wouldbe lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on theoverhead projector.• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstandmachine’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 periods oftime. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparenciescarefully.• To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolongedsunlight.• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any tornedges.• Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.• To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let theprinted sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.• Recommended media: Xerox 3R91331 (A4), Xerox 3R2780 (Letter)Base type transparency (ex. Xerox 3R91331) results in better imageand paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) orremovable stripe (3R3108) ones.•Transparency with static electricity can cause image qualityproblems.•Depending on the selection or storage conditions of the transparency,jam or image scratch might occur.LabelsTo avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in lasermachines.• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’sfusing temperature (about 170°C (338 °F)).-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing betweenthem. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between thelabels, causing serious jams.-Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm(0.51 inch.) of curl in any direction.-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or otherindications of separation.• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which cancause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage tomachine components.
