2–6 IBM Network Color Printer Operator’s Guide
Handling Transparencies
IBM recommends that you use IBM transparencies for the best printing
quality. Follow these guidelines for handling transparencies:
• Use IBM color transparencies only with IBM color printers. These
transparencies are designed exclusively for color laser printers.
• Pick up each printed transparency as soon as it comes out of the printer to
prevent the next sheet from jamming.
• Make sure no fuser oil gets on a transparency. Printing on a transparency
that has fuser oil on it may result in poor print quality.
• When you tap the transparencies to avoid multiple feeds, be careful not to
scratch the films or leave fingerprints on the print sides. (If you look at a
transparency with its white marker positioned on the upper right side, the
side facing away from you is the print side.)
• This printer accepts short-edge feed (SEF) feed only.
• Avoid high temperatures and high humidity. Be sure to store any remaining
transparencies in their protective bags.
