Printing transparencies

When printing transparencies, the manual feed must be used and the media type changed to transparencies as follows:

CAUTION:

Damage to the printer may occur if the incorrect setting is used when printing transparencies.

1.Select MANUAL FEED option under MEDIA TYPE in MENU 1. Then select TRANSPR to ensure the correct fusing temperature is set.

2.Open the manual feed on the printer and place the transparency face up between the paper guides.

3.Adjust the paper guides to the width of the trans- parency.

4.Select manual feed and correct paper size in the software package being used.

Note: Remember to reset the printer and software for normal paper after printing transparencies.

Heavyweight paper or cardstock

The normal paper path from a main paper tray to the top output stack involves two complete U-turns. This may sometimes cause very heavyweight paper or cardstock to jam or misfeed.

Use the manual feed tray to feed this type of paper and the rear paper exit to collect printed output. This gives a nearly straight paper path through the machine and may prove more reliable in this type of application.
