Notes on Handling Media

Whenever possible, hold the paper by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Any scratching or soiling on the print side will adversely affect
the print quality.
When storing your media, put the media back in its original packaging
and avoid locations that are exposed to direct sunlight or that are subject
to high temperatures or humidity. To av oid bending or wrinkling the paper ,
store it in a level place.
After printing, do not touch the print side until the ink gets dry. If water
gets on the printed media, do not touch the print side until the media gets
dry.
When you print the data that consume a large quantity of ink, the print
side may be rubbed because it has a tendency to curl, depending on the
media you use . If this occurs, set the Paper Thic kness Lever to the Do wn
position. Please also note that this type of media is suited for only text
and is not recommended for printing photographs and graphics.
