Using transparencies

Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.

When printing on transparencies:

•

From MarkVision Professional, Print Properties, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to Transparency.

•

Feed transparencies from the standard 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 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting,
or releasing hazardous emissions.
