Using Special Papers and Other Media
When using special coated paper, glossy paper, transparencies,
envelopes, labels, or banner paper, keep the following in mind:
❑
Use special coated paper and glossy paper within one year
of purchase. Use transparencies within six months.
❑
Do not touch the printable surface of the paper; hold the
sheets by their edges. The moisture and oils on your hands
can reduce print quality.
❑
After printing on high-quality glossy paper or
transparencies, remove each sheet from the output tray
immediately. Make sure each sheet is dry before stacking.
❑
Return unused sheets and envelopes to their original
package as soon as possible after you finish printing. Keep
the paper wrapped and store flat in a dry, protected area.
Unfavorable storage conditions—especially high
temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight—can damage
the media.
❑
Follow any other special loading procedures included in
the rest of this section.
