How do I load and print transparencies?
Note
Using unsupported transparency media such as coated color
transparencies will result in damaging the printer and in voiding your
warranty.
Remove transparency media as soon as possible from the output tray to
avoid static buildup.
If you touch the face of transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may
be affected. Do not handle transparency media too much.
You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the
media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing envi-
ronment. If you have problems loading a large number of transparencies at a
time, try loading only 1–10 sheets.
Do not use transparencies that
Are coated, such as transparencies designed for color printers or copiers
Have static electricity that will cause them to stick together
Use transparencies that are
Monochrome, uncoated transparencies (also known as OHP film)
1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option) select Transparency.
2 Select the size of the transparency (Paper tab/Original Document Size
option).
3 Fan a few transparencies.
Fanning a large number
will build up static elec-
tricity.
4 Load the transparency media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
5 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the transparencies.
Note
Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media
jams, or printer damage.
6 Print the transparencies.
7 Immediately remove the printed transparencies from the output tray.
