Using transparencies

Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
TM
•
From MarkVision Professional, the printer software, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to Transparency.
For more information, see "Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type" on page 35.
•
Feed transparencies from the standard tray (Tray 1) or the multipurpose feeder.
•
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure
transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Use transparencies that are 0.12–0.14 mm (4.8–5.4 mil) in thickness or 161–179 g/m
and durability depend on the transparencies used.
•
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
•
We recommend Lexmark part number 12A8240 for letter-size and Lexmark part number 12A8241 for A4-size
transparencies.

software, or MarkVision Professional, set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size. For more
information, see "Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type" on page 35.

envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
