To print transparencies (Mac OS X)

2In the Paper Size pull-down menu, select size, change any other settings, and click OK.

3On the File menu, click Print.

4On the Paper Type/Quality panel, select the Paper tab.

5In the Paper type pull-down menu, select the transparency type you are using.

8Remove each sheet of media as it prints and set aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up might cause smearing.

Printing on custom-size media

You can print custom-size media from Tray 1. When you want to print on custom-size media, you need to adjust the length and width guides in the tray, and, if necessary, extend the tray size to accommodate larger media.

zUse Tray 1 when printing on paper that is 3 to 8.5 inches wide and 5 to 14 inches long (76.2 to 216 mm wide and 127 to 356 mm long).

zIf your application supports custom-size media, set the media size in the application before creating and printing the document. If your application does not support custom size media, set the size in the printer driver, create the document, and then print it. (You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom paper sizes.)

For information about extending the tray size, see “Loading media”.

To load custom-size media

1Raise the output tray and remove all media from Tray 1.

2Insert the custom-size media into the tray.

3Slide the width and length guides until they stop at the edges of the media. The guides should be snug against the media without bending it.

Sliding the guides too tightly against the media can cause jams.

4Lower the output tray.
