Generally speaking, the JPEG format is suitable for photos while the PDF format is suitable for documents.

See the following descriptions to choose the best format for what you want to do.

File Format Description

JPEG (.jpg) A le format that allows you to compress the data to be saved. If the compression ratio

is high, the image quality declines, and you cannot convert the image back to the original quality.

This is the standard image format for digital cameras. This format is suitable for images that have many colors.

the same level of screen display and print result.

You can view PDF les using dedicated PDF reading software or in Web browsers.

Improving Print, Copy, and Scan Quality>Cleaning the Paper Path for Ink Smears

Preventing nozzle clogging

Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.

Check that the power light is o before you disconnect the power cord.

e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.

When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.

In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.
