Operating the Printer
Making Prints
You make prints using photo printing software applications. For 
application-specific printing information, see the user’s guide or 
on-line Help for the software application.
Handling and Storing Prints
For best results:
• Make sure hands are clean and free of food, oil, and grease.
• Store prints in a cool, dry environment free of chemical 
contamination.
• Store prints at temperatures below 25° C (72° F) for extended 
periods.
• Store prints at a relative humidity between 30-50%.
• Avoid exposure to high-intensity light sources, particularly 
fluorescent light and sunlight, which are rich in ultraviolet 
radiation.
• Avoid exposure to vinyl items (those made of polyvinyl 
chloride, PVC) and any plastic that contains plasticizer. If you 
use transparent sleeves, make sure they are not PVC-based.
