Transparency guidelines
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in
laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transpar-
ency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are con-
sidering before buying large quantities.
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help pre-
vent jams (refer to the Administrator’s Guide for detailed information
about this setting). Check with the manufacturer or vendor to deter-
mine whether your transparencies are usable with laser printers that
heat transparencies to 180
o
C (356
o
F) or 212
o
C (414
o
F), depending
on the setting. Use only transparencies that are able to withstand
these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or
releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, refer to the
Card Stock & Label Guide, which is available on the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD.
Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose
feeder and all standard and optional trays, except the 2000-sheet
drawer, for all printer models.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the sur-
face of the transparency cause poor print quality.
