Printing on transparencies
You can print transparencies from Tray 1. For best results, use HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film,
which is specifically designed to work with the printer, or other transparency film that is designed for
inkjet printers.
To load transparencies
1. Remove all media from Tray 1. Insert the transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive
strip pointing forward.
2. Slide the width and length guides until they stop at the edge of the transparencies. Slide the tray back
into its closed and locked position.
To print transparencies (Windows)
1. On the File menu, click Print, and then click Properties. (The actual steps can vary; this is the most
common method.)
2. On the Paper/Quality tab, under Print Quality, select Best in the drop-down menu.
NOTE: Use Best mode to print transparencies. Because this mode provides a longer drying time,
it ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the output tray.
3. Under Type is, select Transparency Films.
4. Under Size is, select the appropriate size for the transparency you are printing.
5. Change any other print settings, if necessary, and then click OK.
6. Send your job to print.

cause smearing.
