Transparencies
Attention
Use only the KONICA MINOLTA-approved media. Using unsupported
transparencies will result in damaging your printer and in voiding your
warranty. Check www.konicaminolta.net/printer/ for currently approved
media. To order approved transparency media, go to www.q-shop.com.
Do not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static
electricity may cause printing errors.
Do not handle transparencies too much. If you touch the face of the
transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected.
Keep the media path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to
a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom
of the sheets, see chapter 7, “Maintaining the Printer”.
Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to
avoid static buildup.
You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the
media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing
environment.
Format the information to be printed on the transparencies within your
application. Try printing your data on a plain sheet of paper first to check
placement.
