Handy Hints
PROTECT YOUR
TRANSPARENCIES
If you want to make notes on your transparency as you talk, print the transparency as a flipped document (described on page 18).
2Put the transparencies in your printer with the rough side down and the adhesive strip forward. (You can peel off the adhesive strip after printing.)
Adhesive strip forward, tape side up
Rough side down
3Slide in the paper adjusters, just as you would for plain paper. Push the IN drawer back in and flip the OUT tray down.
4Print the transparency.
5Be patient.
Because the printer uses more ink, lays the colors down more slowly, and allows for a longer drying time between sheets, transparencies take a while to print.
A F T E R P R I N T I N G
■Change the paper type in the HP print settings box back to Plain Paper or to whatever is appropriate for what you’ll be printing next.
■Remove any remaining transparencies from the IN drawer and replace them with plain paper or whatever you’ll be using next.
