Page 26: Compatible Paper Types
Paper Compatible Paper Types You can use various types of paper. Plain paper This paper is normally used for copying and printing. Unlike inkjet plain paper or glossy paper, it is uncoated. Inkjet plain paper This extra-white plain paper makes the printed colours appear more vivid. Since it does not have an ink- absorbent coating, you can write on it and use it for photocopying, just like regular plain paper.

Page 30: Paper Handling Precautions
Paper Paper Handling Precautions To ensure optimum print results, take care when handling paper before and after printing. Loading Precautions Use compatible paper. Load paper with the print side face down in the paper trays. Load paper with the paper grain parallel to the feed direction. Do not load paper of different types at the same time.
Page 31: Paper Storage Precautions
After printing, some types of paper take longer than others to dry. With duplex printing, the ink may smear or rub off. Using the printer driver, specify how long to wait for the prints to dry between print- ing each side of a duplex sheet. For details, see the printer driver Help.
Page 32: Non-Compatible Paper
Paper Only one-sided printing is possible. Remove sheets from the output tray individually, as they come out. Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried. If you want to stack prints soon after they are printed, we recommend inserting a moisture-absorbent sheet, like copy paper, between prints.
Page 33: Printable Area
Paper stapled or clipped together dark in places irregular in length and proportion Even if compatible paper types are used, print quality may be lower than usual or paper jams may occur if the paper was improperly stored. Printable Area Printable and unprintable areas 1.

Follow the procedure below to check when to replace Print cartridges using the Status monitor or the cartridge replacement indicators. Checking the cartridge replacement indicators of the printer control panel In the above diagram, the control panel is indicating that the cyan print cartridge is almost empty.
Page 46 Replacing Consumables 4. Check the cartridge status. In the illustration above, the cyan Print cartridge is empty. If the background of the image in the top left corner of dialog box is yellow, the indicated cartridge is empty. Replace the cartridge. In this illustration, the cyan ink has completely run out.
Page 47: Replacing A Print Cartridge
Replacing Consumables If the background of the image in the top left corner of dialog box is red, the printer has run out of the indi- cated ink. Replace the cartridge. From left to right, the cartridge replacement indicators display the status of the black (K), cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y) Print cartridges.
Page 48 Replacing Consumables Keep the ink or ink container out of reach of children. Take care to install the cartridges in the correct position. 1. Remove the Print cartridges' packaging. If multiple cartridges are empty, replace all the empty cartridges. You can shorten the time for needed replacement.
Page 49: Handling Print Cartridges
Print cartridges should be opened before their expiration date and used within six months of being opened. Do not open the package of a Print cartridge until the cartridge will be installed in the printer. Do not touch the ink supply port of Print cartridges.
Page 50 Replacing Consumables Do not remove a Print cartridge while printing is being performed. Printing will stop. Black and white printing also consumes colour ink. Printing stops if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. If a cartridge containing a colour ink such as cyan, yellow, or magenta becomes empty, you cannot print, even in black/white.
