Transparencies
You can feed transparencies from the standard 250-sheet tray or the multipurpose feeder. Do not
load transparencies in the optional 250-sheet or 500-sheet drawer.
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to
withstand temperatures of 175°C (347°F) without melting, discoloring, or releasing hazardous
emissions.
• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
• You can send transparencies to the standard output bin; however, they may print more
successfully when sent to the rear output bin.
• Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver or from MarkVision™ to
avoid damaging your printer.
