Apple 6500 manual Printing transparencies

Printing transparencies

For best results, use Apple Color Ink-Jet Transparency Film or transparencies designed for ink-jet printers.

1Use the printer software on your computer to choose “transparency” as the paper type.

2Insert the transparencies into the paper tray, shiny side down, with the joined edge into the paper tray first.

If the transparency has a paper-tape strip, load that end first, with the tape side up.

If the transparency has a paper backing, load it paper side up. The edge where the paper and transparency are joined should go into the printer first.

3Slide the paper adjusters in so they touch the edges of the stack.

4Use your printer software to start printing.

In printing transparencies, the printer uses more ink, puts it on the transparency surface more slowly, and allows more time for inks to dry between sheets. For these reasons, transparencies take a while to print. As an added precaution, give the ink additional time to dry.
