Use transparencies that can withstand the fusing temperature
(200
°
C/392
°
F). We recommend 3M type PP2500 transparen-
cies.
n
Adjust the multipurpose tray guides to fit the transparency size.
Also, make sure the transparency size and type meet specifica-
tions listed in appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” of the
Reference .
n
Slightly fan the stack of transparencies before loading them to
prevent a jam.
n
Insert the transparencies short-edge first, printing side up, with
the top of the page on the left side of the tray. The correct print
side is usually marked on the transparency package.
n
Load up to 50 transparencies at a time in the multipurpose tray or
up to 100 transparencies in the cassette. Loading a larger num-
ber of transparencies at a time may cause static buildup.
n
Keep the paper path clean. Transparencies are especially sensi-
tive to a dirty paper path. If there are shadows on either the top or
the bottom of the sheets, refer to chapter 4, “Printer Mainte-
nance,” for instructions on how to clean the printer.
n
Remove each transparency from the output tray before the next
sheet is printed to prevent jams or misfeeds.
Thick Paper or Card Stock
Your printer supports thick paper or card stock (90 to 157 g/m
2
) print-
ing only from the multipurpose tray (up to 50 sheets).
This media must adhere to the media specifications described in
appendix B, “Technical Specifications” of the
Reference .
Format the information that is to print on the media from within your
application. Try printing the formatted information on a plain sheet of
paper first to check placement.
(See your application documentation for specific information on print-
ing labels.)
