Printing Transparencies

Overhead transparencies used in HP LaserJet printers must be able to withstand the 392°F (200°C) temperature encountered in the printer’s fusing process.

Use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. Because transparencies tend to stick to each other, remove each transparency from the output bin before printing the next one.

Use the Left Output Bin for printing transparencies.
