Handling and using print 
media2

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...
