Transparency specifications
Transparency construction is critical.
Note Use only tray 1 to print transparencies. Send transparencies straight through the printer, entering
at tray 1 and exiting from the rear output bin.
CAUTION Transparencies that are used in the printer must be able to withstand 200 degrees C
(392 degrees F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies that are recommended for use in laser
printers.
Description Specification
Surface resistivity 2.0 to 15 by 10 to the 10th ohm squared. See “Fusing-compatibility field test” on
page 48.
Volume resistivity 1.2 to 15 by 10 to the 11th ohm-cm. See “Fusing-compatibility field test” on
page 48.
Finishing precision Cut sheet within 0.79 mm (0.031 inch) of nominal and +0.20 degrees square.
Fusing compatibility Transparency materials must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the
fusing process. Materials must not discolor, melt, offset materials, or release
hazardous emissions when heated to 200 degrees C (392 degrees F) for 0.1
second. See “Fusing-compatibility field test” on page 48.
Caliper Caliper of 0.100 to 0.110 mm (0.0039 to 0.0043 inch). See “Caliper field test” on
page 46.
