Transparencies

 

When printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:

 

￿

To prevent transparencies from bonding together, always send

 

them to the top output bin.

 

Handle transparencies using the edges. Oils from your fingers

 

that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality

 

problems.

 

Use only overhead transparencies recommended for use in this

 

printer. Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet

 

￿

Transparencies with this printer. HP products are designed to

 

work together for optimum printing results.

Glossy paper

 

When printing on glossy paper, select the glossy print setting in the

 

printer driver. You can also use the printer control panel to set the

 

media type to GLOSS for the input tray you are using. Because this

 

affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its

 

original settings once your job has printed. See “Configuring input

 

trays” on page 76 for more information.

 

 

Note

Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Soft Gloss

 

paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for

 

optimum printing results. If you choose not to use HP Color LaserJet

 

Soft Gloss paper with this printer, print quality may be compromised.
