• Use Tektronix transparencies, available in standard and premium grades. Tektronix premium transparencies offer enhanced print quality and ink adhesion.

• Select Standard as the print-quality mode for vibrant, saturated prints with smooth color transitions. This is the recommended mode for most transparency printing.

• Select the Enhanced print-quality mode for transparencies only when very fine detail is important. Note that selecting this mode for transparency printing produces 600 x 300 dpi, not 800 x 450 dpi.

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

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

• Use Tektronix transparency sleeves to protect your transparencies, make them easier to handle, and make your presentations more professional by covering blank areas exposed on your overhead projector.

• If not using Tektronix transparency sleeves, place slip sheets between printed transparencies or use a protective cover to prevent contact between transparencies.

• Use a printer driver installed from the printer's CD-ROM for printing. If you attempt to print transparencies using a nonsupported driver, the printer will use the printing mode of the tray (paper) and produce unsatisfactory results.

  Note: Do not load transparencies in the Lower Paper Tray Assembly.

  To prevent jams, do not reuse transparencies that have already been fed through the printer, for example, after a jam or if the transparency was ejected without being printed.

  Do not use transparency media intended for ink-jet or thermal-wax printers. For best results, use Tektronix transparency media. Refer to Printer supplies and Media trays for ordering information.
