Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser unit Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on these forms.
Page 172: Selecting Preprinted Forms And Letterhead
Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead When selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the multifunction printer: Use grain long papers for best results. Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. Select papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed. Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Page 175 Your multifunction printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first.
Page 176: Storing Print Media
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label. Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. Dell recommends zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your multifunction printer and could void your warranty.

Page 360: Understanding Fonts
Understanding Fonts Typefaces and fonts Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts Resident Fonts Symbol Sets Typefaces and fonts A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read.
Page 361: Pitch And Point Size
Pitch and Point Size The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on whether the font is fixed space or proportional. In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed space fonts. It is a measure of the number of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type.
Page 362: Bitmapped And Scalable Fonts
Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts The multifunction printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts. Bitmapped fonts are stored in print memory as predefined patterns of bits that represent a typeface at a specific size, style, and resolution. The following illustration shows an example of a character from a bitmapped font.
Page 363: Resident Fonts
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your multifunction printer. Resident Fonts Your multifunction printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in print memory. Different fonts are available in PCL 5/PCL 6 and Adobe PostScript 3.
