6After the printed transparency comes out of the printer, put in the next transparency as described 
in Step 5 on page 1-37. Repeat for each transparency that you want to print.
7After you finish the print job, close the face-up output tray.
Caution
Remove each transparency immediately after printing. Stacking the printed transparencies may cause 
a paper jam or the transparency to curl.
■Make sure that the transparency is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed tray. 
If it is not, the transparency may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a jam.
■Do not put more than one transparency in the manual feed tray at the same time, or it may cause 
a jam.
■If you put any Media (paper, transparency and so on) in the manual feed tray before the printer 
is in the Ready state, the media may be ejected without being printed on.

Duplex Printing
The supplied PCL printer drivers for Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000/XP, Mac 
OS® 8.6 to 9.2 and Mac OS® X 10.1 or later all enable duplex printing. For more information about how 
to choose the settings, see the  Help text in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
■If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
■ If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
■ You should use regular paper. Do not use bond paper.
■ If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.
