Tips on using transparencies

•
Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
•
Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous
emissions.
Note: If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the
Paper menu, then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F).
• Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems.
• Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking
together.

Paper guidelines

Selecting the correct paper or specialty media reduces printing problems. For the best print quality, try a
