Overhead transparency printer


Explanation:
Google returns many results for OH-papper or OH-film - overhead transparency film in Englsih - but not so many for OH-skrivare. It appears there is not a particular type of printer used for printing overhead transparencies. The black/white/overhead transparency printer could be used for both functions.

disagree  Michael Ellis: "Foil" is rarely used nowadays; 'viewgraph', 'transparency' or mostly just plain "overhead' are more usual.
