Printing Transparencies
For best results use a Xerox ink jet transparency
or a transparency specifically designed for ink jet

quality and print faster. Best will print slower, but
will give you the highest quality for your
overhead presentation.
Note: Make sure you place transparencies rough
side down in the tray. Also, remember that
transparencies take longer to dry than plain paper.
Allow for longer drying time before handling.
Remove any other media and place up to 30
