CAUTION CAUTION Note Using overhead transparencies Overhead transparency film must be designed specifically for use with laser printers. Photocopy transparency film might not be compatible with laser printers because of higher temperature and stiffness requirements. Color laser printers also require different film from that used in monochrome printers to create proper color reproduction and accommodate fusing needs. Overhead transparency film is very smooth and must have a topcoat to provide the proper electrical and toner adhesion properties. A transparency that is made of incompatible material or that is too thin can easily melt in or wrap around the fuser and damage your printer. The thickness requirement for monochrome overhead transparency film is 0.10 to 0.11 mm (4.0 to 4.4 mils) and for color overhead transparency film is 0.12 to 0.13 mm (4.8 to 5.2 mils). Overhead transparency materials must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing process. Materials must not discolor, offset, or release undesirable emissions when heated to 205° C (401° F) for 0.1 second (0.4 second for HP color LaserJet printers). See your HP LaserJet printer user guide for detailed instructions about using overhead transparencies. See "Ordering HP print media" on page 35 for information about ordering HP transparencies. Not all HP color LaserJet printers support printing on transparencies. Please see the support documentation that came with your product to determine if your product supports transparencies. Guidelines for using overhead transparencies The following table summarizes the overhead transparency specifications that provide the best performance. To prevent jamming or poor-quality output, HP recommends using monochrome transparencies with HP LaserJet monochrome printers and color transparencies with HP color LaserJet printers. The specifications listed in this section generally apply to all HP LaserJet printers; see the support documentation that came with your printer for product-specific information. Property Specifications Caliper 0.12 mm to 0.13 mm (4.8 mils to 5.2 mils) for HP color LaserJet printers. 0.10 mm to 0.11 mm (4.0 mils to 4.4 mils) for HP monocrome LaserJet printers. Electrical surface resistivity 1010 to 1013 ohms/square. Fusing compatibility Overhead transparency materials must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing process. Materials must not discolor, melt, offset, or release undesirable emissions when heated to 205° C (401 ° F) for 0.1 second (0.4 second for HP color LaserJet printers). 16 Using print media ENWW
