Transparencies
" Do not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static elec-
tricity may cause printing errors.
" If you touch the face of the transparencies with your bare hands, print
quality may be affected.
" Keep the printer path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to
a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom
of the sheets, see chapter 8, “Maintaining the Printer” .
" Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to
avoid static buildup.
You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the
media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing envi-
ronment.
Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.
" If you have problems feeding 100 sheets, try loading only 1–50 sheets
at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may
cause static buildup, thus causing feeding problems.
" Always first test a small quantity of a particular type of transparency.
