Chapter 2

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.

„You can only print on both sides of the paper with PC printing. (See Printing for Windows® in the Software User's Guide on the CD-ROM).
