Chapter 5 Paper Handling 5-19
Paper Handling
❏ 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 unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their
protective packaging until you are ready to use them.
❏ Store unused film at temperatures between 15° and 30°C. The
relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
