Capacity varies with media weight and construction. The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for
use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the
transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.
For transparencies, the Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type
for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your
transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 212°C (414°F). Use only
transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing
hazardous emissions.

Size can vary from 98.4 x 62 mm to 176 x 250 mm (3.87 x 6.38 in. to 6.93 x 9.84 in.).
