Choosing the right type of paper

For high quality printing, it is important to choose the right type of paper. Be sure to read Loading paper and
Loading documents in the Basic User's Guide before buying paper, and to determine the printable area
depending on the settings in the printer driver.

Simultaneous printing and scanning

Your machine can print from your computer while scanning a document into the computer.
However, when the machine is copying, it pauses the computer printing operation, and then continues
printing when copying has finished.
If the LCD shows Ink low, one or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life. You can continue
printing until the LCD shows Cannot Print.

Clearing data from the memory

If the LCD shows Data Remaining, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing the
Stop/Exit key on the control panel.
