Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
Feed transparencies from a 250-sheet tray, a 550-sheet tray, 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 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
Use transparencies that are 138–146 g/m
•
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
