Transparency quality tips
■ Use Tektronix transparencies, available in standard and premium
grades. Tektronix premium transparencies offer enhanced print
quality and ink adhesion.
■ Select Standard as the print-quality mode for vibrant, saturated
prints with smooth color transitions. This is the recommended
mode for most transparency printing.
■ Select the Enhanced print-quality mode for transparencies only
when very Þne detail is important. Note that selecting this mode
for transparency printing produces 600 x 300 dpi, not
800 x 450 dpi.
■ Use large type on overheads; 18-point or larger type works well.
■ Use yellow or other light colors for text on solid-color
backgrounds.
■ Use Tektronix transparency sleeves to protect your transparencies,
make them easier to handle, and make your presentations more
professional by covering blank areas exposed on your overhead
projector.
■ If not using Tektronix transparency sleeves, place slip sheets
between printed transparencies or use a protective cover to
prevent contact between transparencies.
■ Use a printer driver installed from the printerÕs CD-ROM for
printing. If you attempt to print transparencies using a
nonsupported driver, the printer will use the printing mode of the
tray (paper) and produce unsatisfactory results.
Note
Do not load transparencies in the Lower Paper Tray Assembly.
To prevent jams, do not reuse transparencies that have already been fed
through the printer, for example, after a jam or if the transparency was
ejected without being printed.
Do not use transparency media intended for ink-jet or thermal-wax
printers. For best results, use Tektronix transparency media. Refer to
“Printer supplies” on page 10-2 and “Media trays” on page 10-4 for
ordering information.
