Handling and using print 
media 2
 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 next 
document. Use only transparencies 
recommended for inkjet printing.
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or 
irregularly shaped paper
 
1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams 
to occur.
• Extremely shiny or highly textured 
paper
• Paper that cannot be arranged 
uniformly when stacked
• Paper made with a short grain
 
Paper capacity of the output paper 
tray cover
2
Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm A4 paper.
 Transparencies and photo paper must be 
picked up from the output paper tray cover 
one page at a time to avoid smudging.
