Handling and using print 
media 2
 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.

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or 
irregularly shaped
1 0.08 in. (2 mm) or greater curl may 
cause jams to occur.
• Extremely shiny or highly textured

uniformly when stacked
