How do I print on transparencies etc?

 


Printing on transparencies from the paper tray:
  1. Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver.

    Media Type: Transparencies
    Paper Source: Tray1

    PCL Driver / Printer Driver:
  1. Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.
  1. While pressing the blue paper-guide release levers, slide the paper guides to fit the transparency size. Check that the guides are firmly in the slots.
  1. Put transparencies in the tray. Check that the transparencies are flat and below the maximum paper mark (t).

Do not put more than 10 transparencies in the tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.

  1. Put the paper tray firmly back in the printer.

Pull out the support flap to prevent transparencies from sliding off the top output tray.

  1. Send the print data to the printer.

DO NOT touch transparencies that have just been printed because they are very hot!

Printing on transparencies from the manual feed tray:

When the back output tray is open, the printer has a straight paper path from the manual feed tray to the back output tray.

  1. Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver.

    Media Type: Transparencies
    Paper Source: Manual

    PCL Driver / Printer Driver:
  1. Open the back output tray.
  1. Send the print data to the printer.

A NO PAPER status is shown by the control panel LEDs until you put a transparency in the manual feed tray.

  1. Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to the transparency size.
  1. Using both hands put the transparency in the manual feed tray until its front edge touches the paper feed roller. Hold the transparency in this position until the printer automatically feeds it in for a short distance, and then let go of the transparency.
  1. After the printed transparency comes out of the printer, put in the next transparency as described in Step 5 above. Repeat for each transparency that you want to print.
  1. After you finish the print job, close the back output tray.

DO NOT touch transparencies that have just been printed because they are very hot!
