Note Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. Do not use raised letterhead. Note 138 10 Media EN Note The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the printer temperature (200° C or 392° F for 0. 1 second). Common media problems table Symptom Poor print quality or toner adhesion, or problems with feeding. Problem with paper Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed. Faulty paper lot. Solution Try another kind of paper between 100 and 250 Sheffield and 4 to 6% moisture content. Dropouts, jamming, or curl. Stored improperly. Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping. Excessive curl, or problems with feeding. Might be too heavy. Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short-grain construction. Use long-grain paper. Print using the straight-through output path. Jamming, or damage to printer. Problems with feeding. Cutouts or perforations. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Use good quality paper. Ragged edges. Labels When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following factors: q Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer's maximum temperature. 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 (0. 5 inch) of curl in any direction. Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. Never use a sheet of labels that has already been run through the printer. q q q Transparencies Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer's maximum temperature. EN Guidelines for using media 139 Envelopes Envelope construction Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends on the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: q Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m2 (28-pound), or jamming might result. Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0. 25 inch) curl and should not contain air. Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3. 5 x 6. 3 inches) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 inches). q q q Envelopes with double-side seams An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. Make sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration: Acceptable Unacceptable Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 200° C (392° F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams. Envelope storage Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing. Card stock and heavy media You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards.
