creates smooth and natural shades of gray.

is created by varying patterns of black dots, which might result in a grainy image.
11. Click OK, and then click Print or OK in the Print dialog box.
NOTE: Do not leave unused photo paper in the paper tray. The paper might start to
curl, which could reduce the quality of your printout. Photo paper should be flat before
printing.

NOTE: To print borderless photos, use 4 x 6 inch photo paper with a 0.5 inch tab
(10 x 15 cm with 1.25 cm tab). The photo prints without borders on three sides and
with a small border on the bottom edge that you tear off to make the photo completely
borderless.
1. Remove all paper from the paper tray.
2. Place the photo paper print side down on the right side of the paper tray.
3. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
