49 Setup • The recommended transparency is 3M CG3710. The transparency has a side to be printed. The other side has a leading tape. When loading the transparency , load it with the taped end entering the printer first. The transparency can be loaded in the multi-purpose tra y and transparency tra y (option).
50 Setup 4 F an the media (paper or transparencies), and then tap it on a le vel surf ace to av oid media jams or skew ed printing. Do not f an the transparency to a void fingerpr ints. NOTES: • To optimize your printer’s performance, always use clean, unused media.
51 Setup 6 Slide the media tra y completely into the slot. 7 When using transparency with leading tape: Remov e the tape after pr inting. When the image is printed on the media, the image (pr int area) is a bit smaller than the media size . Y ou ma y need to adjust the page margins in the application software to match the print area.
52 Setup The multi-purpose tray (MPT) serves as an additional tra y for loading an y type of media that ranges in siz e from 91 mm x 254 mm to 216 mm x 356 mm (3.6 " x 10 " to 8.5 " x 14 " ). Use it to load a single sheet or a stack of media, depending on the media’ s type and thickness.
53 Setup 2 Close the left side door . To load paper, transparency: NOTE: • Reusing media that has been f ed through the printer (for e xample, after jams) can reduce the lif e of the consumables and paper path components. F or detailed inf or mation on media, see “Media” on page 290 .
54 Setup 3 Separate the media guides to the appro ximate width of the media. 4 F an the media, and then tap it on a le v el surface to a void media jams or ske wed printing. Do not f an the transparency to a void fingerpr ints. 5 Inser t the media with the pr inting side up into the multi- pur pose tra y .
55 Setup 6 Adjust the media guides to the media size . 7 Use the printer dr iver to select the m ulti-pur pose tra y . 8 When using transparency with leading tape: Remov e the tape after pr inting. ( See page 51 .) To load an envelope in the multi-purpose tray: Do not inser t more than one env elope at a time.
