I would like to use a special paper stock in my LaserWriter 8500 but I am concerned that it might melt. What is the fusing temperature for the LaserWriter 8500?
DISCUSSION The LaserWriter 8500 fuser temperature changes depending on the mode the printer is in. During the energy saver mode the fuser heating element remains off, allowing the fuser to return to room temperature. When the printer is activated and a print job is sent to the printer the fuser sets a target temperature of between 356° F (180° C) to 385° F (196° C). After the completion of a print job, and prior to the printer returning to the energy saver mode, the printer sets a target fuser temperature of approximately 351° F (177° C). The LaserWriter 8500 supports 16- to 28-pound laser-quality bond (60 to 105g per m^2); up to 36-pound (135g per m^2) stock when fed manually through the multipurpose tray. The printer accepts most textured and colored stock, and medium-weight photocopier transparencies and labels. Envelopes can be printed from the multipurpose tray or from the optional envelope feeder. The paper used should not scorch, melt, transfer material, or release hazardous emmissions when heated to 200° C (400° F) for 0.1 seconds. |
