Printing transparencies

Use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. For transparency specifications, see “Transparencies” on page 196

Load transparencies face up in tray 1 with the top toward the printer. Up to 50 transparencies can be loaded in tray 1.

A stack of 50 to 100 transparencies can be printed from tray 2, 3, or 4 (although stacking more than 50 at a time is not recommended). Because transparencies are heavier than paper, do not load tray 2, 3, or 4 to capacity. Load them with the side-to- be-printed facing down, and the top edge toward you.

To prevent transparencies from becoming too hot or sticking together, use the top output bin.

Remove each transparency from the output bin before printing another.

Do not feed transparencies through the printer more than once.

Print only on one side of a transparency.

Place transparencies on a flat surface to cool after removing them from the printer.

Select the transparency paper type from the printer driver so that the printer uses the low fuser mode that is best for printing them.

If two or more transparencies feed at the same time, try fanning the stack.
