Transparency guidelines The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities. The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams (refer to the Administrator's Guide for detailed information about this setting). Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are usable with laser printers that heat transparencies to 180oC (356oF) or 212oC (414oF), depending on the setting. Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide, which is available on the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD. Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose feeder and all standard and optional trays, except the 2000-sheet drawer, for all printer models. Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause poor print quality. Choosing Print Materials 39

Choosing Print Materials
Transparency guidelines
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in
laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transpar-
ency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are con-
sidering before buying large quantities.
The
Paper Type
setting should be set to
Transparency
to help pre-
vent jams (refer to the
Administrator
’
s Guide
for detailed information
about this setting). Check with the manufacturer or vendor to deter-
mine whether your transparencies are usable with laser printers that
heat transparencies to 180
o
C (356
o
F) or 212
o
C (414
o
F), depending
on the setting. Use only transparencies that are able to withstand
these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or
releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, refer to the
Card Stock & Label Guide
, which is available on the
Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities
CD.
Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose
feeder and all standard and optional trays, except the 2000-sheet
drawer, for all printer models.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the sur-
face of the transparency cause poor print quality.
