2–6 IBM Network Color Printer Operator’s Guide

Handling Transparencies
IBM recommends that you use IBM tra ns p arencies for the best printing
quality. Follow these guidelines for handling transparencies:
• Use IBM color transparencies only with IBM color printers. These
transparencies are designed exclu s iv ely f or c o lor laser printers.
• Pick up each printed transparency as so on as it comes out of the printer to
prevent the next sheet from jamming.
• Make sure no fuser oil gets on a transpa ren cy. Printing on a transparency
that has fuser oil on it may result in poor print qu ality.
• When you tap the transparencies to a vo id multiple feeds, be careful not to
scratch the films or leave fingerprints on the print sides. (If you look at a
transparency with its white marker pos it io ned on the upper right side, the
side facing away from you is the print side .)
• This printer accepts short-edge feed (S EF) feed only.
• Avoid high temperatures and h igh humidity. Be sure to store any remaining
transparencies in their protective ba gs .
