1. Open the HP Print Settings dialog box.
   1. Click File, and then click Print.
   2. Click Properties.
   3. If the dialog box does not appear, click Setup or Options.

2. In the HP Print Settings dialog box, click the Setup tab. Click the Paper Type arrow, and then select the appropriate type (either HP Premium Transparency Film, or Other Transparency Films). Click Best as the print quality.

   note:

   Transparencies need longer drying times than regular paper. The printer dries them automatically before it releases them. Press the RESUME button on the front of the printer to continue printing. It is not absolutely necessary to use the Best print quality, but it gives the best results. Faster printing can occur by using the Normal print quality.

   If you are in a hurry, use EconoFast print quality. When selecting HP Premium Inkjet Transparency on the Setup tab in the printer's Properties dialog box, EconoFast print quality is not an option.

3. If the user will make notes on the transparencies during the presentation, in the HP Print Settings dialog box, click the Features tab. Select Flip Horizontal.
4. Flip up the OUT tray for a better view of the IN tray.
5. Put the transparencies in the printer with the rough side down and the adhesive strip forward. (Peel off the adhesive strip after printing.)

6. Slide the paper adjusters. Push in the IN tray, and then flip down the OUT tray.
7. Print the transparency.

   note:

   Be patient when printing on HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or if printing in Best mode. Transparencies take a longer period of time to print because the printer uses more ink, lays the colors down more slowly, and allows for a longer drying time between sheets.

• Change the Paper Type on the Setup tab of the HP Print Settings dialog box to what you want to print next.
• In the Features tab of the HP Print Settings dialog box, clear the Flip Horizontal checkbox.
• Remove any remaining transparencies from the IN tray, and then replace them with the paper that you want to print next.

• The wrong side of the transparency might have been printed on. Make sure to put the transparency into the printer with the rough side facing down.
• A transparency that was not meant for an HP Inkjet printer might have been used.

   Figure : The appearance of poster-style printing

Check the HP Deskjet 930, 950, 960, 970, 980, or 990c series printer Release Notes (which were installed on the computer with the printer software) for information regarding the specific software program.

   note:

   The following figure shows the OUT tray flipped up on an HP Deskjet 930c series printer. The OUT tray looks slightly different on the HP Deskjet 950c, 960c, 970c, 680c, and 990c series printers.

   1. From the stack of banner paper, tear off the number of sheets that are required to print the banner. (The stack must contain at least five sheets.)
   2. Tear off and discard any perforated strips.
   3. Fan the stack so that the pages do not stick together in the printer.
      Figure : Fanning the stack

   1. Unattached edge
7. Slide the paper adjusters so that they fit snugly against the edges of the paper stack.
8. Push in the IN tray.
9. Print the banner. The printer goes through some start-up movements before it starts printing. Also, banner printing takes a longer period of time; so it might be several minutes before any results are seen.
10. After the banner is printed, if the Resume light is blinking, press the RESUME button as many times as needed until all of the banner paper is out of the printer.

• Clear Banner Printing on the Setup tab of the HP Print Settings dialog box.
• Flip down the OUT tray.
• Remove the banner paper from the IN tray, and then replace it with the type of paper that you want to print on next.

• The printer might be picking up more than one sheet of paper at a time. Take the paper out, and then fan the stack. Also, make sure that the top and bottom margins are set to zero in the banner program. Print the banner again.
• The software program that was printed from might need to be set to print on a continuous sheet instead of on individual pages. See the manual that was provided with the software program.

• In the HP Print Settings dialog box, make sure that Banner Printing on the Setup tab is selected.
• Put in more than five, but fewer than 20, sheets of paper.
• Make sure that the OUT tray has been flipped up on the printer.
• See the online HP Deskjet 930, 950, 960, 970, 980c, or 990c series printer Release Notes for the appropriate settings for specific software programs.
• Make sure that all regular paper is removed before loading the banner paper.

• The paper-length adjuster might not have been pushed in completely. Make sure that it is snug against the paper, and then print again.

• If the print quality seems especially poor after switching from banner printing, make sure that the printer was reset for normal printing.
