❏ To establish a network using push button setup, check that the access point supports WPS. If it does not

support WPS, you cannot establish a network using push button setup.

❏ Check that only ASCII characters (alphanumeric characters and symbols) are used for the SSID. The printer

cannot display an SSID which contains any characters other than ASCII characters.

❏ Check the SSID and password before connecting to the access point. If you are using an access point with its

default settings, the SSID and password are on the label. If you do not know the SSID and password, contact the person who set up the access point, or see the documentation provided with the access point.

❏ When you want to connect to an SSID generated using the tethering function on a smart device, check the

SSID and password in the documentation provided with the smart device.

❏ If the Wi-Fi connection is suddenly disconnected, check the following. If any of these are applicable, reset the

❏ If the access point's shared authentication is enabled on the WEP security method, make sure the

authentication key and index are correct.

E-8 ❏ Enable DHCP on the access point when the printer's Obtain IP Address is set to Auto.

❏ If the printer's Obtain IP Address is set to Manual, the IP address you manually set is out of range (for

Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the

printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.

Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,

press them down to atten them before loading.

❏ Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the

printout.

❏ Do not use envelopes with adhesive surfaces on the aps or window envelopes.

❏ Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Ink consumption

❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during

printing but also during maintenance operation such as print head cleaning.

❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the

paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.

❏ e ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high

quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.

Relling the Ink Tanks

Ink can be relled at any time.

1. Open the ink tank unit cover, and then remove the cap of the ink tank. Aer removing the cap, place it on the protruding portion on the ink tank as shown in 3 in the illustration below.

Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head.

Important:

Do not open the scanner unit or turn o the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you may not be able to print.

❏ Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.

❏ When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head. Prepare a new ink bottle.

❏ If print quality has not improved aer repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait for at least 12 hours
