First prepare your image by inserting it into an MSWord
document. If you have forgotten how to do this, see instructions
here.
When your document is ready to print, click on FILE then
PRINT. Select the color printer (in the LRC that is the DeskJet
1600C), then click on PROPERTIES. Select the level
of quality you want by clicking the appropriate radio button (Presentation,
Normal, Draft). For high quality color transparencies, select PRESENTATION.
Then choose the type of paper by clicking the down arrow to select
TRANSPARENCY FILM. It is the very last item on the list--you will
need to scroll down to it.
Insert a transparency film in the printer with the arrow edge towards the
inside. WARNING: When you purchase your transparency film, make
certain you buy the type that is designed for color printers and NOT xerox
machines. Using the wrong type of film in either machine will create havoc!!
The film will melt in the machine and cause serious damage.
When you are satisfied that all is ready, click on OK in
the Properties box, then OK in the print box.
Wait patiently -- color printing takes a while. Your
patience will be rewarded with a beautiful color transparency.
