Printing on Envelopes Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before you load envelopes in the Manual Tray, make sure that they are undamaged. • Do not feed stamped envelopes. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. 1 Open the Manual Tray by pulling it down toward you. 2 Open the rear output tray and pull the extender. PRINT MEDIA 4.
Printing on Envelopes 3 Load the envelope with the flap side down. The stamp area is on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the Manual Tray first. 4 Adjust the guide to the width of envelope. 5 When you print on envelopes, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. 6 After printing, close the Manual Tray and the rear output tray. 4.
Printing on Heavy Paper Guidelines • Heavy paper is any paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2). The maximum paper weight available for your printer is 43 lb (163g/m2). • Do not use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 43 lb, or 163 g/m2 bond). Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessive mechanical wear can result. 1 Open the Manual Tray and the rear output tray. 2 Load paper with print side up, and against the left edge of the tray.
Printing on Labels Guidelines • Only use labels recommended for laser printers. • 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.
Printing on Transparencies Guidelines • Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. • Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have any torn edge. • Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems. • Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.
Printing on Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer. (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example) Guidelines • Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second.
Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media Postcards, 3.9 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized media can be printed with the ML-1440 printer. The minimum size is 98 by 148 mm (3.9 by 5.83 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.). Guidelines • Always insert the short-edge into the Manual tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

Using Page Overlay What is an Overlay? Dear ABC Regards An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD as a special file format that can be printed on any document you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead.
Using Page Overlay 4 In the Create Overlay dialog box, type a name of up to eight characters in the File name box. Select the destination path if necessary. (The default is C:\FORMOVER). 5 Click Save. You will see the name in the Overlay List box. 6 Click OK or Yes until you complete the creation. The file is not printed out. Instead it will be stored on your computer HDD disk. Note: The overlay document size must be the same as documents you will print with the overlay.
Using Page Overlay 4 If the desired overlay file does not appear in the Overlay List box, click Load Overlay, and select the overlay file. If you have stored the overlay file you want to use into an external source, you can also load the file when you access this Load Overlay window. After you select the file, click Open. The file is now shown in the Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the overlay from the Overlay List box. 5.
Using Page Overlay 5 If necessary, click Query Page Overlay. If this box is checked, a message box will appear each time you submit a document for printing, asking you to confirm your wish to print an overlay on your document. Answering Yes to the message box means that the selected overlay will be printed with your document. Answering No to the message box cancels overlay printing. If this box is empty, and an overlay has been selected, the overlay will be automatically printed with your document.
