Setting the printer properties
You can change the printer setting in step 3. We
recommend that you test paper (especially
special sizes and types of paper) on the fax
machine before purchasing large quantities.
You can change the settings on following tabs.
Paper: Paper size, paper type, etc.
Output: Pages per sheet, etc.
Quality: Graphics mode, resolution, toner save
feature, etc.
Note:
L To select [Envelope] for paper type on the
[Paper] tab, you need to select [Envelope
#10] or [Envelope DL] for paper size.
L When printing from a computer, the toner
save feature on the [Quality] tab overrides
the fax machine’s toner save setting (feature
#482 on page 54).
7.4.2 Transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing.
We recommend the following:

CG3300/CG5000
L Load transparency sheets one page at a
time for printing, print-side down.
L Remove each transparency after printing
and place it on a flat surface to cool and to
prevent it from curling.
L Do not re-use transparencies that have
already been fed through the fax machine.
This includes transparencies that have been
fed through and ejected without being printed
on.
L Some types of transparencies have
instructions recommending which side to
print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing
on the other side.
