Specifications

When printing on special paper, you might prefer to print face
up. To do so, set the paper path selector on the top left comer
of the printer to the faceup position. If you print on special
paper regularly, you might want to install the optional faceup
output tray. See Appendix C, “Option Installation.”
Choosing special paper
below are some recommendations for selecting paper and
other print media for the printer.
Envelopes
Load envelopes with the flap-side down. The printing quality
on envelopes may be irregular because different parts of an
envelope have different thicknesses. Print one or two
envelopes to check the print quality. If the printing is too light,
adjust the print density as described in Chapter 6. Using the
optional face-up output tray will keep envelopes from curling.
Do not use window envelopes unless they are specially
designed for laser printers. The plastic on most window
envelopes can melt when it comes in contact with the hot fuser.
Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper
copiers. When printing labels, print in the face-up position; this
keeps the labels from curling or coming off the backing sheet.
To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with printer
parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing
sheet, with no gaps between the individual labels.
You should test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing
a sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks,
do not use the labels.
