Handling and using print 
media2
 Store paper in its original packaging, and 
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and

 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.
