Using transparencies
Transparencies can be run ONLY from Tray 5.
Transparencies with removable lead edge paper
stripes are recommended.
KEY POINT: Use only the transparencies
recommended in the Recommended Materials
List and the Color Materials Usage Guide.
Before you load transparencies, you must
determine which side has the white stripe. Use a
soft lead pencil to make a small mark on the stripe
on each side of the transparency. The side with
the darker mark is the stripe side.
Load transparencies with the white stripe side
facing down and as the leading edge, as
illustrated in Figure 4. (The leading edge is the
edge that feeds into the copier/printer first.)
You can program the copier/printer to insert a
blank separator between transparencies by using
the Transparency Separator feature on the Output
Formats tab. Refer to the section “Output
Formats” for more information.
KEY POINT: Follow these guidelines to prevent
static build up when using transparencies:
• Place no more than twenty-five 8.5 x 11-inch
or A4 transparencies in Paper Tray 5 at one
time.
• Place only one 11 x 17 or A3 transparency in
Paper Tray 5 at a time.
• Remove the transparencies from the Output
or Offset Catch Tray before running additional
sets.
NOTE: If the copier/printer has a Sorter/Mailbox,
the transparency copies are delivered to the
Offset Catch Tray. Transparencies cannot be
sorted or stacked in separate bins.
