[. . . ] Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them. Paper type Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-210 Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101 Canon CF-102 Transparencies Canon Back Print Film BF-102 Drying time 10 minutes 1 Hour 15 minutes 15 minutes When selecting a sheet of film 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 the sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder. 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. 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 support is extended. 2 Insert the cleaning 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. Use a cleaning sheet once only. Printing on a Fabric Sheet 1 Setup the printer. 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. In the Paper tab, select A4 for the Paper Size and select Fabric Sheet for the Print Media. Start the print operation from your Windows application. 4 Dry and then wash the fabric Let the printed fabric sheet set for about one hour to allow the ink to completely dry. Wash the printed fabric sheet for about three minutes under lukewarm running water to remove the extra ink Hang the fabric sheet up to dry it again. See the booklet that comes with Fabric Sheet FS-101 for details on drying and washing. Printing on Banner Paper For best results, use Canon Banner Paper. To set up a print job on banner paper, you must decide on the number of sheets you need. You can print banner from 2 to 6 sheets in length. Always leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner--just in case the type runs over. The shaded portions of the drawing below illustrate the maximum recommended printing area of Banner Paper. Printing on Banner Paper requires quite a bit of ink. [. . . ] The best place to find current information is through our on-line support services and through our Fax Retrieval System.
