The print quality of black ink varies depending on the kind of glossy paper you are
using. Black ink is used when you select GLOSSY:4-COLOUR. If the glossy paper
you are using repels the black ink, select GLOSSY:3-COLOUR, which simulates
black ink by combining the three ink colours.
The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face up onto the paper tray in the
front of the machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet
immediately to prevent a paper jam or curling sheets.
