When printing on transparencies:
Set the
Paper Type
to
Transparency
from the printer driver to avoid damaging your printer.
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Do not use regular transparencies. Transparencies must be
able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous
emissions.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. This may result in poor print quality.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Selecting Transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the
transparency used. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first.
The
Paper Type
setting should be set to
Transparency
to help prevent jams. (See "
" for detailed information
about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with
laser printers that reach temperatures as high as 205°C (401°F). Only use transparencies that are able to withstand these
temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
You can load envelopes in the multipurpose feeder for a single print job. Before buying large quantities of any print media,
Dell recommends trying a sample first. See "
Loading the Multipurpose Feeder
" for instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
Set the print media source to
MPF
. Set the
Paper Type
to
Envelope
, and select the correct size of envelope from the
printer driver.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m
2
(28 lb bond)
weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must
not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight.
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
For best performance, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl or twist
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, embossing
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
Have an interlocking design
Have postage stamps attached
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
Have nicked edges or bent corners
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
