Safety information

Printing

Getting started

Using the automatic paper type sensor

The printer is equipped with an automatic paper type sensing device. The Paper Type Sensor automatically detects the type of paper that has been loaded into the printer and adjusts the settings for you. For example, if you want to print a photo, load photo paper into the printer. The printer detects the type of paper and automatically adjusts the settings to give you optimum photo-printing results.

Loading paper

1 Make sure:

• You use paper designed for inkjet printers.

• If you are using photo, glossy, or heavyweight matte paper, you load it with the glossy or printable side facing

you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions that came with the paper.)

• The paper is not used or damaged.

• If you are using specialty paper, you follow the instructions that came with it.

• You do not force paper into the printer.

2 Before loading paper the first time, slide the paper guides out toward the edges of the paper support. You can

load up to:

• 100 sheets of plain paper

• 25 sheets of heavyweight matte paper

• 25 sheets of photo paper

• 25 sheets of glossy paper

Note: Photos require more drying time. Remove each photo as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging.

3 Load the paper vertically in the center of the paper support, and adjust the paper guides to rest against the edges

of the paper.

Note: To avoid paper jams, make sure the paper does not buckle when you adjust the paper guides.

1 Remove all paper from the paper support before loading the banner paper.

2 Tear off only the number of pages needed to print the banner.

3 Place the required stack of banner paper on the top cover.

4 Feed the leading edge of the banner paper into the printer first.

5 Make sure:

• The paper is loaded in the center of the paper support.

• The paper guides rest against the edges of the paper.

Related topics:

• “Printing a banner” on page 14

Loading custom-size paper

You can load up to 100 sheets of custom-size paper at a time.

1 Load paper with the print side facing you.

2 Make sure:

• The paper size fits within these dimensions:

Width:

– 76.0–216.0 mm – 3.0–8.5 inches

Length:

– 127.0–432.0 mm – 5.0–17.0 inches

• The stack height does not exceed 10 mm.

• The paper is loaded in the center of the paper support.

• The paper guides rest against the edges of the paper.

Printing

Loading envelopes

You can load up to 10 envelopes at a time.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.

1 Load envelopes in the center of the paper support with the stamp location in the upper left corner.

2 Make sure:

• The print side of the envelopes faces you.

• The envelopes are designed for use with inkjet printers.

• The paper guides rest against the edges of the envelopes.

Notes:

• Do not load envelopes with holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing.

• Do not use envelopes that have exposed flap adhesive.

• Envelopes require more drying time. Remove each envelope as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink

smudging.

Related topics:

• “Printing envelopes” on page 12

Loading greeting cards, index cards, photo cards, and postcards

You can load up to 25 greeting cards, index cards, photo cards, or postcards at a time.

1 Load cards with the print side facing you.

2 Make sure:

• The cards are loaded in the center of the paper support.

• The paper guides rest against the edges of the cards.

Note: Photo cards require more drying time. Remove each photo card as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging.

2 Make sure:

• The print side of the labels faces you.

• The top of the labels feeds into the printer first.

• The adhesive on the labels does not extend to within 1 mm of the edge of the labels.

• You use full label sheets. Partial sheets (with areas exposed by missing labels) may cause labels to peel off

during printing, resulting in a paper jam.

• The labels are loaded in the center of the paper support.

• The paper guides rest against the edges of the labels.

Note: Labels require more drying time. Remove each sheet of labels as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging.

Notes:

• Transparencies with paper backing sheets are not recommended.

• Transparencies require more drying time. Remove each transparency as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid

ink smudging.
