Notes on Handling Print Media
■ To avoid poor print quality and possible damage to the printer, never use the types
of media listed below.
- Folded paper
- Curled paper
- Creased or crumpled paper
- Damp or wet paper
- Excessively thin media (weight less than 64 g/m
2 )
- Excessively thick media (weight more than 105 g/m 2 )
- Continuous feed paper (tractor feed)
- Punched paper (loose-leaf folder inserts, etc.)

- Postcards with a photograph or sticker pasted on
- Envelopes with overlapping flaps

• To avoid touching the print surface, always handle media by the edges. Unclean or scratched print
surfaces can adversely affect print quality.
• When storing the print media, put the print media back in its original packaging and avoid locations
that are exposed to direct sunlight or that are subject to high temperatures or humidity. To avoid
curling or wrinkling the paper, store it in a level place.
• After printing, do not touch the print side until the ink has dried. If water gets on the printed media,
do not touch the print side until the ink has dried. The following are guidelines on how long ink
takes to dry on individual print media.
