Important
• You may load as man y as 20 sheets of Photographic-Quality
Paper at one time.
• Fan the sheets before loading them on the sheet feeder. The
printer may feed more than one sheet at one time when they
are stuck together.
• If you do not load the guide sheet with the Photographic-
Quality Paper, the final sheet may not feed properly.
• Always use the Photographic-Quality ink cartridges to print
on the Photographic-Quality Paper. Printing with any other
combination can damage the cartridge ribbon as well as the
paper.
• Remove both the Photographic-Quality Paper and the guide
sheet before loading any other type of paper.
• The guide sheet is not reusable. When you load a new set of
Photographic-Quality Paper, make sure that you load them
with the new guide sheet from the same package.
• Note that when all the Photographic-Quality Paper has been
fed from the sheet feeder, the printer will detect that the paper feeder is empty and will not feed the guide sheet. If you
try to feed the guide sheet through the printer, it may get
damaged. Do not use a damaged guide sheet in the printer.
• Keep both used and unused sheets away from heat, humid-
ity, dust, and direct sunlight.
• The printed image on the Photographic-Quality Paper may
discolor. Keep it out of contact with plastic, such as document holders, wallet windows, erasers, hairdressing items,
