Do not allow film sheets tostack up in the output tray. (Should you dirty the document tray when removing thesheets, wipe the document tray clean with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened withwater or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.)• Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.Drying time:– Canon High Gloss Photo Film, Canon Glossy Photo Paper, Canon Glossy PhotoCards: 2 minutes– Canon Transparencies, Canon Back Print Film: 15 minutes• 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 thesheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder.• When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of plain paper as thelast sheet in the stack.• Do not leave film in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt mayaccumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while loadingand 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 untilyou are ready to use them.• Store unused film at temperatures between 59° and 86°F (15° and 30°C).
