Set the size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the transparencies loaded in the tray.
Print a test page on the transparencies before buying large quantities.
Use transparencies designed for laser printers.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems.
Flex, fan, and align the sheets before loading. Doing so prevents them from sticking together.
Print batches of up to 20 transparencies with an interval of at least three minutes between batches. Doing so prevents the transparencies from sticking together in the bin. You can also remove transparencies from the bin by batches of 20.
Change the paper type to Transparency to lower the fuser temperature. The lower temperature prevents the transparencies from discoloring or melting.
