6. Reload the paper trays. Do not overload.
7. Re-engage the photo tray, if desired, and then press Start to resume printing.
Slow Printing.
NOTE: When printing a large number of prints, printing may slow down to prevent the print head from overheating.

White Edges on Borderless Prints.
Probable Cause
White edges can appear when there are slight misalignments between the printer and paper. Some software applications are able to "hide" these small
misalignments so that the prints look borderless like they are supposed to.
Use the application's Fit to Page/Fill Page option, or resize the picture so it is slightly larger than the paper size.
