Set up the Transparency Separators.
Under certain conditions, electrostatic build-up may cause a print-
ing transparency to “pick up” an already completed page. This
could lead to paper jams. To prevent this, please set up the trans-
parency separators as described below.
1) With a pair of scissors, cut apart the separators by following
the dotted lines, as shown here. Then discard the middle por-
tion, keeping the two outer sections with folding lines.
2) Now fold the two separators along the fold lines as shown in
the illustration. The folded angle on the separators should be
less than 90 degrees.
3) Take the inner box of the overhead projector transparency film
and insert it into the cover of the box, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
4) Insert the separators into each side of the box, between the
outer cover and inner box as shown.
Note
WHEN THE SEPARATORS ARE IN PLACE, MAKE SURE THE
FOLDED ANGLE IS LESS THAN 90 DEGREES SO THE TRANS-
PARENCIES WILL FALL DOWN INTO THE OPEN BOX.
5) Place the box with installed separators in front of the printer,
and align the right edge of the box with the right edge of the
paper output slot on the printer.
OPERATION
When transparencies are printing, they will ride on top of the sepa-
rators, preventing them from “picking up” any completed trans-
parencies lying below. When a transparency is completed, it will
drop through the separators by the time the next sheet begins
printing.
