Hints for making transparencies


CAUTION
Do not use any media designed for inkjet printers, especially inkjet coated paper and inkjet transparencies. Inkjet media is coated with a substance that will damage the fuser; Xerox does not furnish service for damage or malfunction caused by the use of non-Xerox supplies or consumables. Always use Xerox media that has been specially designed for use with Xerox Laser Printers.

  • Use only Xerox transparencies.
  • For information on the advantage of Xerox transparencies over other brands, visit the Xerox web site:
  • www.xerox.com/supplies/trans/index.html

Using the Transparency tray

  • For the best printing reliability, use the transparency tray for printing multiple transparencies.
  • Always load the transparency tray with the logo strip face-up, placed under the hooks.

Using the Multi-Purpose Tray

  • Refer to Xerox Transparencies for detailed instructions on loading transparencies in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
  • Set the Media Thickness Switch to Medium for the best media-picking reliability. Refer to Setting media thickness for details.
  • Insert Xerox transparencies with the logo strip face-down, entering the printer first.
  • Select Transparency at the front panel prompt.
