Store paper in its original packaging, and

keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and

away from moisture, direct sunlight and

heat.

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny.

Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side.

Load glossy 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 and copiers may stain your next

document. Use only transparencies

recommended for inkjet printing.
