Tips on using transparencies
Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
Feed transparencies from the standard 250-sheet tray or t he multipurpose feeder.
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser pr inters. Check with the manufacturer or v endor to ensure
transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 175°C (350°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
Note: Transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 180°C (356°F) if Transparency Weight is set to Heavy
and Transparency Texture is set to Rough. Select these set tings using the Embedded Web Server, or from t he
printer control panel Paper menu.
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fi ngerprints on the transparencies.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to p revent sheets from sticking together.
We recommend Lexmark part number 70X7240 for letter-size transpar encies and Lexmark part number 12A5010
for A4-size transparencies.
