Do not leave the film in the sheet feeder for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing. To avoid smudging caused by finger prints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while loading and handling the film. To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to prolonged sunlight. Do not remove papers from their protective packaging until you are ready to use them. Store unused film at temperatures between 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%. Uncurling Back Print Film If Back Print Film becomes curled, follow these steps to uncurl it: 1 Cover the non-glossy side of the film with a sheet of plain paper. 2 Roll the film and paper up in the direction opposite the curl. 3 Keep the film rolled up for five minutes. High Resolution Paper HR-101 Canon's High Resolution Paper HR-101 is designed for high quality printing. This paper is specially coated to produce delicate color output. After using a package of High Resolution Paper (200 sheets), you need to use the cleaning sheet enclosed with the paper to remove paper dust from the printer's rollers; this will help prevent paper feed problems. Using the Cleaning Sheet 1 Set up the printer. Make sure the paper thickness lever is to the lever. Make sure the paper support is extended. 2 Insert the cleaning sheet. Remove the two pieces of tape from the sheet. Insert the sheet with the sticky side out (toward you) and down (going into the sheet feeder). Adjust the paper guide to the edge of the cleaning sheet. 3 Press the RESUME button. Press Resume to advance the cleaning sheet into the printer. The printer feeds the sheet and then ejects it. Use a cleaning sheet once only. Printing on a Fabric Sheet 1 Setup the printer. Make sure the paper thickness lever is to the right position. Make sure the paper support is extended. 2 Insert the fabric sheet. Insert the sheet with the cloth side out (toward you) and open end up (away from the sheet feeder) Adjust the paper guide to the edge of the Fabric Sheet. Do not attempt to load more than one sheet at a time. 3 Setup the BJC-250 Printer Driver for Windows.
