Transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing.
L
Load transparency sheets one page at a
time for printing. Print side must face
down.
L
Remove each transparency after printing
and place it on a flat surface to cool and to
prevent it from curling.
L
Close the paper stacker extender (page 15)
while printing to prevent transparencies from
curling.
L
Do not re-use transparencies that have
already been fed through the fax machine.
This includes transparencies that have been
fed through and ejected without being printed
on.
L
Some types of transparencies have
instructions recommending which side to
print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing
on the other side.
