Use transparencies designed specifically for laser/LED printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand
temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

Before loading transparencies, flex the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
