Specialty Print Media Guidelines

n
Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon specialty print media, as these
provide important information on how to achieve the highest print quality.
Follow these guidelines:
• When feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is
delivered, being careful not to touch the document tray. (Should you dirty the
document tray when removing the sheets, wipe the document tray clean with a clean,
soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.)
Do not allow film sheets to stack up in the output tray.
• Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.
Drying time:
– Canon High Gloss Film HG-101, Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-301: 10 minutes
– Canon Transparencies CF-102, Canon Back Print Film BF-102: 15 minutes
– Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101: 1 hour
• When your output has dried completely,
cover its printed side with a sheet of plain
(not coated) paper before storing it. This is
recommended even if you place the sheets
of film in a clear file or plastic holder.
• When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of plain paper as the
last sheet in the stack.
• Do not leave film in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may
accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while loading
and handling film.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.
• Store all print media flat. Do not remove them from their protective packaging until
you are ready to use them.
• Store unused film at temperatures between 59° and 86°F (15° and 30°C). The relative
humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
