Guidelines
■ Remove all paper before loading transparencies in the tray.
■ Handle transparencies by the edges using both hands. Fingerprints or creases can cause
poor print quality.
■ Do not load more than 50 transparencies in Tray 1. Do not load more than 400
transparencies in Trays 2 through 4. Overloading the tray can cause the printer to jam.
■ Do not use transparencies with stripes on the side.
■ After loading transparencies, change the paper type at the control panel (Printer Setup/
Paper Handling Setup).
