Using Acetates
You can print or photocopy onto acetates using the Printer-copiers (MFDs).
NOTE: ENSURE THAT THE ACETATES THAT YOU PUCHASE FOR USE ARE THE CORRECT ONES.
They must be purchased from a source that states that they are for bw or colour laser printers. Acetates that are not of this type may melt inside the printer while printing and cause damage to the device.
Printing using Acetates:
When you print, you tell the Printer-Copier device that you are using an acetate while you set up to print on the workstation.
Click on the file menu in the menubar, and then on print. Choose your printer (black and white or colour), sizes & other attributes in the normal way (see Printing to the Printer-Copier)
Select the Properties button.
Select the Paper tab along the top.
Under the Input Tray: option, select Bypass Tray.
Under the Type: option, select Transparency.
Click on the OK button to come out of the print Properties window. You can now continue to send your print in the normal way.
Now go to the Printer-Copier (MFD). Locate the bypass tray on the right hand side of the device, and insert your acetate.
Login to the device and print.
Photocopying with Acetates:
Login and set up your copy as normal (see Photocopying to Printer-Copiers).
When you copy using an acetate, you tell the Printer Copier on the front panel of the device.
Now go to the Printer-Copier (MFD). Locate the bypass tray on the right hand side of the device, and insert your acetate.
On the front panel of the Printer-Copier (MFD), press the Programs button.
A series of options may be available to you - select the Acetate OHP copying option, and the screen will move on into Copying mode, where you can continue to copy (see Photocopying to Printer-Copiers).
