P RINTING ON TRANSPARENCIES
You can print transparencies from any tray.
L OADING AND PRINTING ON TRANSPARENCIES
The way to load transparencies in the paper tray is the same as the way to load standard
size paper. For details, refer to “Loading paper” on page 28. However, before loading
transparencies, consider the following points:
> Remove all other media before loading transparencies into the tray.
> Do not load transparencies above the fill line; this may cause the printer to jam.
> Handle transparencies by the edges to avoid fingerprints and creases that can cause
poor print quality.
> Do not use transparencies with the stripes side down.
You must also set paper type for the paper tray to Transparency on the control panel.
1. Fan the transparencies to ensure that all sheets are separated.
2. Insert them with the long-edge feed.
3. Adjust the paper guides to the size of the transparencies, if required.
4. On the control panel, change the paper type to TRANSPARENCY.
5. From the File menu, select Print.
6. Select this printer as the printer to be used and click Properties.
7. Click the Media Type drop down box and click on transparencies.
8. Select the loaded paper tray from Source Drop down and click on the tray that
contains the transparencies.
9. Click the Paper Size drop down.
10. From Paper Size, select the size of the original document.
NOTE
Printing transparencies continuously may lead to the output transparencies
sticking to each other. As a guide, remove the transparencies from the output
tray after about 20 sheets and then fan them to lower their temperatures.
