Tektronix transparency media is recommended for use in this printer, as it provides optimal image quality and reliable printer operation. Tektronix premium transparency media provides enhanced ink adhesion and print quality. Load transparency media in the appropriate Letter- or A4-size paper tray. For best results, Tektronix recommends that you order the optional transparency tray. A label inside the transparency tray indicates the tray's maximum transparency capacity.

Note: Do not use transparency media intended for ink-jet or thermal-wax printers. For best results, use Tektronix transparency media.

Transparency quality tips

• Select the Standard print-quality mode in the printer driver for the most vibrant, saturated colors on transparencies. Use the Enhanced (600 x 300) print-quality mode only for transparencies with very fine detail.

• Use large type on overheads; 18-point type or larger works well.

• Use yellow or other light colors for text on solid-color backgrounds.

• Place slip sheets between printed transparencies or use a protective cover to prevent contact between transparencies.

  Note: Do not load transparencies in the Lower Paper Tray Assembly. To avoid a jam condition, do not re-use transparencies that have been fed through the printer once (for example, after a jam or if the transparency was ejected without being printed).

1. If you are using the optional transparency tray for printing transparencies, load up to 175 transparencies (approximately three boxes) and install the transparency tray in the printer.

   When you print, use a supported printer driver and specify Transparency to obtain the correct print mode for transparency media. The printer senses the presence of the transparency tray and prints correctly without further interaction.

2. If you are using the standard paper tray for printing transparencies, replace the paper in the tray with up to 50 transparency sheets and install the paper tray in the printer.

   When you print, use a supported printer driver and specify Transparency to obtain the correct print mode for transparency media. The printer senses the mismatch of the transparency media loaded in the paper tray and asks you to confirm the print through the printer's front panel.

Caution: Never attempt two-sided or two-pass printing on any type of media. Ink already present on the media will offset onto the internal paper path, requiring you to perform cleaning procedures.
