Paper and Other Print Media
• Always read any special instructions that come with the print media.
• Always handle paper and special print media by the edges, and avoid touching
the print surfaces of the sheets. If the print surface is soiled or scratched, the
print quality will deteriorate.
• Always store unused paper and special print media in its original package. Do
not bend the media. Store the package flat, in a cool location that is not exposed
to high temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not use media that is excessively curled, creased, or in any other way
defective. If the media is curled, you may be able to remove the curl by bending
the media in the opposite direction before loading it in the printer.
After printing, do not allow any moisture to contact the printed surface.
