Tips on using transparencies
Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
•
Feed transparencies from the standard 250-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 175°C (350°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
Note:
Transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 180°C (356°F) if Transparency Weight is set to Heavy
and Transparency Texture is set to Rough. Select these settings using the Embedded Web Server, or from the
printer control panel Paper menu.
•
To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
•
We recommend Lexmark part number 70X7240 for letter-size transparencies and Lexmark part number 12A5010
for A4-size transparencies.
