Transparencies
Description Sheets of clear polyester film with a coating that dry ink adheres to images are
printed on transparencies so they can be projected onto a screen or wall. The quality
of the projected image is determined by the quality of the polyester material and the
coating.
Selection tips • Border stripe, borderless, and paper-backed transparencies are all acceptable.
• Only US Letter (8.5”x11”) and A4 (210x297mm) transparencies are supported.
• Test a small quantity of non-Xerox transparencies before making a large
purchase. (Xerox transparencies that are recommended for the Xerox Nuvera
meet the specifications for clarity, dry ink receptivity, and coefficient of friction.)
Storage tips Store in the original box before and after imaging
Usage tips • Run transparencies in simplex mode only.
• Handle transparencies carefully. Any damage to the surface will affect image
quality.
• Fan transparencies gently, but thoroughly to prevent multifeeds. Fan them in the
tray to help reduce handling dents. Refer to Table 3-1 for more information.
• Load transparencies with the border stripe down and the glue along the lead
edge.
• Do not remove the border stripe or paper-backing until you are ready to place
the transparency on the projector.
• Place sheets of paper between the transparencies after removing the border
stripe or paper-backing to prevent them from sticking together.
• Paper-Backed Transparencies must be programmed to run in the simplex mode
only and to stack face down to prevent damage to the backing sheet.
• Load only 50 transparencies in a tray at a time.
• For dedicated transparency trays, first place approximately half an inch (12 mm)
of plain paper at the bottom of the tray. This will ensure that all 50
transparencies will get used.
