Print several pages to clean the transfer roller of excess toner.
Printed materials delivered by the
postal service arrive with ghosting
or mirror images of the text visible
on the page.
When preparing printed materials for mailing:
• Use 24 lb (90 g/m

) paper
• Avoid rough paper; select paper with a smoothness from 100 to 150 Sheffield
• Fold sheets with the text facing outward
• Insert sheets in envelopes
• Pre-barcode and pre-sort all envelopes
• Meter envelopes or use pre-canceled stamps
• Place envelopes in trays and deliver to the post office; do not drop envelopes
into mail boxes or chutes
