You have to use special transparency stock with a laser printer. It is NOT the same stock you would use with an ink jet printer - using ink jet transparency stock in a laser printer will completely ruin your printer - it will melt and adhere to the drum. Make sure any transparency stock you intend to use is clearly labeled for use with laser printers.
