Canon IRC Adv 5235 A3 size Transparency Setting Problem

[jetpack1976]

Hi All,

Wonder if somebody can confirm this symptom. If I want to set the media type to Transparency media, the media size is limited to no bigger then A4 or letter size. If I put in a A3 size transparency into the tray, I cannot select media type "Transparency".

I tried all 4 tray bins including the Multi Purpose Tray. Once the media size go beyond A4, the media type transparency cannot be selected. I am trying to print A3 size transparency. Any idea what sort of setting I can do or is it cast in stone that Canon 5235 cannot print A3 size transparency? My friend was using the Xerox DocuCenter 3755 and encountered the same problem like me. He was also trying to print A3 Transparency. When the technician came down, press a couple of buttons, then the media type Transparency can be selected for A3 size.

I contacted my Canon technician, sigh.. I drew blank. He was even more clueless then me.

Any canon expert here can help?

Thanks in advance for reading.

hi
This is within specification; A3 size transparencies are not supported. Transparencies can only be configured for A4 and A4R for this model.
