Paper Compatible Paper Types You can use various types of paper. z Plain paper This paper is normally used for copying and printing. Unlike inkjet plain paper or glossy paper, it is uncoated. z Inkjet plain paper This extra-white plain paper makes the printed colours appear more vivid. Since it does not have an inkabsorbent coating, you can write on it and use it for photocopying, just like regular plain paper. z Glossy paper This machine prints best on reduced-reflection glossy photo paper.
Paper Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities You can load in each tray the paper of the following size and number. Tray 1 Type Size Paper capacity Plain / Inkjet Plain Paper A4 (210 × 297 mm) Maximum paper capacity: 250sheets Maximum paper output capacity: 150sheets A5 (148 × 210 mm) A6 (105 × 148 mm) B5 (182 × 257 mm) Letter (8 1/2" × 11") Legal (8 1/2" × 14") 5 1/2" × 8 1/2" Executive (7 1/4" × 10 1/2") Custom paper sizes 139.

Paper Paper Handling Precautions To ensure optimum print results, take care when handling paper before and after printing. Loading Precautions z Use compatible paper. z Load paper with the print side face down in the paper trays. z Load paper with the paper grain parallel to the feed direction. z Do not load paper of different types at the same time. z To load a different type of paper than that already loaded, first remove all currently loaded paper. z Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
Paper Paper Storage Precautions z Do not store paper in humid places. z Do not store paper in direct sunlight. z Store paper flat. z Store unused paper in the original package. Paper Type Precautions Plain paper z z Use the bypass tray to print on paper heavier than 157 g/m2 (297.6 lb.). The only type of A6 (105 × 148 mm(4.2 × 5.9 inches)) paper that can be loaded in tray 1 is that of 157 g/m2 (297.6 lb.). z After printing, some types of paper take longer than others to dry.
Paper z Only one-sided printing is possible. z Remove sheets from the output tray individually, as they come out. z Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried. z z If you want to stack prints soon after they are printed, we recommend inserting a moisture-absorbent sheet, like copy paper, between prints. Ink takes time to dry. To prevent sheets from sticking together, remove them from the output tray individually, as they come out.
Paper z z stapled or clipped together z dark in places z 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. Feed Direction 2. Printable Area 3. 3 mm (0.12 inches) z When printing on envelopes, the following print area limitations apply. 1. Feed Direction 2. Printable Area 3. 8 mm (0.4 inches) 4. 38 mm (1.5 inches) 5.

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 indicated 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. z z The cartridge status can be used for determination of cartridge change. If cartridge status is not monitored, visual indication of the cartridge may not be correct.
Replacing Consumables z z 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. 2. Open the right front cover. 3. Take out the empty cartridges. 4. Check the cartridges' orientation, and then install them gently.
Replacing Consumables 6. Close the right front cover. z p.123 "Recommended Consumables" Handling Print Cartridges Important points about handling Print cartridges are explained. z If ink comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately in running water. For other symptoms, consult a doctor. z If ink is ingested, induce vomiting by drinking a strong saline solution. Consult a doctor immediately.
Replacing Consumables z Do not remove a Print cartridge while printing is being performed. Printing will stop. z Black and white printing also consumes colour ink. z 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. Storing Print cartridges z Avoid storing Print cartridges in hot or freezing places.
