Transparencies<br />

Print media guidelines<br />

You can feed transparencies from <strong>the</strong> standard tray (250-sheet tray for Model I or 500-sheet tray for<br />

Model II), optional 250- or 500-sheet trays, or <strong>the</strong> multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any<br />

transparencies you are considering using with <strong>the</strong> printer before buying large quantities.<br />

When printing on transparencies:<br />

• Be sure to set <strong>the</strong> Paper Type to Transparency from <strong>the</strong> printer driver, in <strong>the</strong> Local <strong>Printer</strong><br />

Setup Utility, or from MarkVision to avoid damaging your printer.<br />

• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to<br />

withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing<br />

hazardous emissions.<br />

• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on <strong>the</strong> transparencies.<br />

• Before loading transparencies, fan <strong>the</strong> stack to prevent sheets from sticking toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

Selecting transparencies<br />

The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and<br />

durability depend on <strong>the</strong> transparency used. Always print samples on <strong>the</strong> transparencies you are<br />

considering before buying large quantities.<br />

The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type for<br />

detailed information about this setting.) Check with <strong>the</strong> manufacturer or vendor to determine whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />

your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 205°C (401°F).<br />

Use only transparencies that are able to withstand <strong>the</strong>se temperatures without melting, discoloring,<br />

offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.<br />

Transparencies can be fed automatically from <strong>the</strong> multipurpose feeder and all standard and optional<br />

trays, except <strong>the</strong> 2000-sheet drawer, for all printer models. See Identifying print media sources<br />

and specifications for information about transparency compatibility with optional output bins.<br />

Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on <strong>the</strong> surface of <strong>the</strong> transparency cause<br />

poor print quality.<br />
