Loading Special Papers and Other Media

This section describes how to load coated paper, glossy paper,
transparencies, and envelopes. (For instructions on loading
plain paper, see Chapter 1.) When using special coated paper,
glossy paper, transparencies, or envelopes, keep the following
in mind:
Make sure the printable side of the paper is face up.
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.
Use special coated paper within one year of purchase. Use
high-quality glossy paper and transparencies within six
months.
Make sure the paper thickness and adjustment levers are
in the correct position for the paper you are using. See
page 4-3.
