Alps Electric MD-1300 manual 121, ¨ Set up the Transparency Separators

Printing on Overhead Transparencies

Step 2¨ Set up the Transparency Separators.

Under certain conditions, electrostatic build-up may cause a print- ing transparency to “pick up” an already completed page. This could lead to paper jams. To prevent this, please set up the trans- parency separators as described below.

1)With a pair of scissors, cut apart the separators by following the dotted lines, as shown here. Then discard the middle por- tion, keeping the two outer sections with folding lines.

2)Now fold the two separators along the fold lines as shown in the illustration. The folded angle on the separators should be less than 90 degrees.

3)Take the inner box of the overhead projector transparency film and insert it into the cover of the box, as shown in the illustra- tion.

4)Insert the separators into each side of the box, between the outer cover and inner box as shown.

Note

WHEN THE SEPARATORS ARE IN PLACE, MAKE SURE THE

FOLDED ANGLE IS LESS THAN 90 DEGREES SO THE TRANS-

PARENCIES WILL FALL DOWN INTO THE OPEN BOX.

5)Place the box with installed separators in front of the printer, and align the right edge of the box with the right edge of the paper output slot on the printer.

When transparencies are printing, they will ride on top of the sepa- rators, preventing them from “picking up” any completed transpar- encies lying below. When a transparency is completed, it will drop through the separators by the time the next sheet begins printing.
