Transparencies
For best results, use only the following Lexmark transpar-
encies with the Optra Color 1200 printer:
These transparencies are designed to provide optimal
print quality when used with your printer. Using other
transparencies designed for laser printers may yield
unpredictable results
To order transparencies in the U.S., call 1-800-438-2468. In
other countries, refer to the table on page 90 for a listing of
appropriate phone numbers.
Changing the Paper Type
Always set the Paper Type to Transparency when printing
transparencies. The printer then adjusts the fuser tempera-
ture and engine speed to ensure the best possible print
quality. When you print transparencies, you will experi-
ence a slight delay before printing starts as the printer
warms the fuser to the higher temperature. Transparencies
then print at approximately 3 ppm.
When you load transparencies in the multipurpose feeder,
the printer recognizes the type of media you have loaded
and automatically makes these adjustments. However,
waiting for the printer to sense the presence of transparen-
cies may further delay the job. We recommend always
selecting the correct Paper Type before sending a job to
print.
