Transparencies

"

"

"

Do not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static electricity may cause printing errors.

If you touch the face of the transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected.

Keep the printer path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom of the sheets, see chapter 7, “Maintaining the Printer” .

" Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup.

You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing envi- ronment.

Format the information to be printed on the transparencies within your appli- cation. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check place- ment.
