avoid static buildup.
You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the

What is the guaranteed imageable (printable) area?
The printable area on all media sizes is
up to 4 mm (0.157") from the edges of
the media.
Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which
the machine can print clearly and without distortion.
This area is subject to both hardware
limits (the physical media size and the
margins required by the machine) and
software constraints (the amount of
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable
(printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0.157") from
all edges of the media.

Page margins
Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set
custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes
and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may
lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

Media storage
How do I store media?
Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it.
Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up
too much and cause misfeeding.
If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack-
aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above
35°C [95°F]), and dust
Avoid leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright position.
Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.
Loading media
How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the
stack to prevent static buildup before
inserting it in a tray.
" Do not fan transparencies.
Note
Although this machine was designed for printing on a wide range of
media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media
type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain
paper (such as envelopes, thick stock, or transparencies) may
adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media misfeeds.
