Overhead transparencies may display any of the image quality defects
shown in the previous samples. In addition, because transparencies are
pliable while in the print path, they are subject to being marked by the
media handling components.
• Make sure that
Transparency
is selected as the media type, in the
Paper tab in the printer drive. In addition, make sure that the media
input tray is correctly configured for transparencies. When
Transparency is selected as the media type and ColorSmart II is
selected on the Color tab, the printer will use a color treatment
optimized for projection.
• If transparencies show lines and creases in the media and/or the
printed output, compare the defect against the template to help
isolate the cause to a particular component.
• Check that the transparencies meet the specifications listed in the
HP Paper Specification Guide.
• If the transparencies have spots or smudges, reprint them being
careful not to touch the surface of the media. Skin oils can
contaminate transparencies, causing spots and smudges.
• Small random dark areas on the trailing edge of solid fill pages may
be caused by transparencies sticking together in the face up bin. Try
printing the job in smaller batches.
• Printing is preferred only to the FD output. FD output leads to
shocking of transparencies because of the speed that they come
out.
Note
Allow transparencies to cool at least 30 seconds before handling
them.
Transparencies created on the printer may look bad, but still can be
used on reflective-type (portable) transparency projectors.
