PRINTING TRANSPARENCIES
Printing Transparencies
For best results use a Xerox ink jet transparency
or a transparency specifically designed for ink jet
printers. Do not use transparencies designed for
laser printers. Using these will cause the ink to
smear.

Print, then click on the Properties button, then
the Paper/Output tab, and select Ink jet
transparency in the Paper type listbox.
In the Print quality listbox select eXpress or
Best. The eXpress mode will give you good
quality and print faster. Best will print slower, but
will give you the highest quality for your
overhead presentation.
Remove any other media and place up to 30
transparencies in Tray 1 with the rough side down.
If your transparency has an adhesive strip you can
peel it off after printing. You can print with the
adhesive strip facing either way.
Adjust the guides against the transparencies and
print.

Note: Make sure you place transparencies rough
