in the PAPER TYPE menu in the PAPER MENU.
Index cards measuring 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.) should be
fed through the manual feed slot or optional tray 2.
Use only specially coated transparencies specifically

Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering
using with the printer before buying large quantities.
Do not use transparencies with paper backing sheets.
