Transparencies
Use only transparencies recommended for laser printers. See
appendix B, the “Consumable Supplies” section, for transparency
specifications and vendors.
Storing Transparencies
Storing transparencies improperly increases the chance of jams
during printing and can affect the print quality of your
transparencies. Keep transparencies in good condition by storing
them
■ In their wrapper
■ On a flat surface
■ In a closed cabinet
■ Out of high temperature and humidity areas
Do not leave transparencies unwrapped or in a place where heat
and humidity can damage them.
Loading Transparencies in the Paper Tray
Transparencies are to be printed in the multipurpose tray. Follow
the instructions in “Loading Paper in the Multipurpose Tray” given
earlier in this chapter to load transparencies. Keep in mind the
following considerations:
■ Slightly fan the transparency stack before printing to
prevent a jam.
■ Load transparencies print side down. The correct print side
is usually marked on the transparency package.
