I've done this with no problems, I use Highland 6200 (a standard type
of inexpensive office supply tape from Staples) "invisible" tape.

I researched it and found it to be made of cellulose acetate (not
marked on the box, of course). That has a melting point of 403=B0F,
which is just within the media requirements specification of my
HP LJ1200 laser printer (200=B0C or 392=B0F) for 0.1 second to withstand
the fusion roller.

The adhesive is not specifically rated for this, but I've had
no problems. You could always use real high temperature tape
(Polyimide with silicone adhesive) if you want to be really safe.

At your own risk etc. etc.
