letterhead in the print media sources.
Transparencies
You can feed transparencies from the standard 250-sheet tray or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample
of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
Do not load transparencies in the optional 250-sheet or 500-sheet drawer. To load transparencies in
the multipurpose feeder, see page 54 of Using and loading the multipurpose feeder.
When printing on transparencies:
• Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver, in the Local Printer
Setup Utility, or from MarkVision™ to avoid damaging your printer.
• 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.
