When your output has dried completely, cover its printed side with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is recommended even if you place the output in a clear file or plastic holder.

When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of plain paper as the last sheet in the stack.

Do not leave sheets of film in the sheet feeder for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.

To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while loading and handling film sheets.

To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.

Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their protective packaging until you are ready to use them.

Store unused film at temperatures between 59° F to 86° F (15° C to 30° C). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
