Printing Precautions
This section explains the precautions that should be observed when printing.
These precautions are applicable to all of the printing methods,
including “Printing from Memory Cards,” “Printing from Cameras,”
“Printing from Computers” and “Wireless Printing.”
• Do not pull out the paper cassette or open the ink cassette cover just after
turning on the printer or while printing. This will lead to malfunctions.
• During printing, the paper will pass in and out four times. Do not touch or
pull on the paper during this process. It may lead to injuries or
malfunctions.
• Placing 19 or more sheets in the paper cassette (13 or more Wide Size
sheets) will lead to mis-feeds or paper jams. Moreover, do not let 10 or
more sheets of printed paper collect on top of the paper cassette.
• Printing temporarily ceases if the printer interior rises past a certain
temperature. Since printing will automatically resume when the
temperature lowers, please wait a moment. (This may occur when the
ambient temperature is high or numerous prints have been produced
continuously.)
• Do not print on printed paper.
