Guidelines
■Do not open sealed packages of glossy paper until you are ready to load them into the 
printer.
■Leave glossy paper in the original wrapper, and leave the packages in the shipping carton 
until ready to use.
■Remove all other paper from the tray before loading glossy paper.
■Load only the amount of glossy paper you are planning to use. Do not leave glossy paper 
in the tray when you are finished printing. Reinsert unused glossy paper in the original 
wrapper and seal. 
■Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause glossy 
paper to curl and jam the printer.
