To handle printed sheets of High Resolution Paper
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause ink to fade, so avoid
exposing printed sheets to direct sunlight. To store printed sheets for a long
period, cover the printed side of each sheet with one sheet of Plain Paper
and store flat or in a plastic folder.
During a long print job, do not allow the printed sheets to stack high-
er than 15 mm (about 1/2 inch or approximately 40 sheets).
Printing on Glossy Photo Paper
Although the printer prints excellent colour on plain paper or bubble jet
paper, the glossy print surface of Glossy Photo Paper GP-301 reproduces
superior photo-realistic images.
Although Glossy Photo Paper GP-301 can be fed manually or from the
sheet feeder, feeding from the sheet feeder is recommended. Never
attempt to load Glossy Photo Paper GP-301 in the paper cassette.
To attain superior print quality with this media, use the Color BJ
Cartridge BC-82 Photo.

vided with the package of Glossy Photo Paper GP-301.
