Handling and using print media

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

•Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or greater

•Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

•Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

•Paper made with a short grain

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 gsm A4 paper.

Transparencies and photo paper must be picked up from the output paper tray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.
