Printing on transparencies

For best results, use HP Premium Transparency Film, which is
specifically designed to work with the printer, or other transparency film
that is designed for inkjet printers.

To print on transparencies

1

Remove all media from Tray 1.

2

Insert the transparencies with the rough side down and the
adhesive strip pointing forward into Tray 1.

3

Slide the width and length guides until they stop at the edge of the
transparencies, and then slide the tray back into its closed and
locked position.

4

From the File menu, click Print, and then click Properties (the
actual steps can vary; this is the most common method).

5

Under Print Quality, click Best.

6

Under Paper Type, select Transparency Films.

7

Under Paper Size, select the appropriate size for the transparency
you are printing.

8

Change any other print settings, if necessary, and then click OK.

9

Click OK again to print the transparencies.

Printing on media of user-defined size

You can print media of user-defined size from the front manual feed,
Tray 1, or Tray 2. When you want to print on media of user-defined size,
you need to adjust the length and width guides in the tray, and, if
necessary, extend the tray size to accommodate larger media.

For information about extending the tray size, see “To load Tray 1 or
Tray 2.”

For information about the media sizes that the printer will
accommodate, see “Selecting print media.”

Use Best mode to print transparencies. Because this mode provides a
longer drying time, it ensures that the ink dries completely before the
next page is delivered to the output tray.
