◦ Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
◦ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
• Do not leave media in the input tray overnight. This might cause it to bend.
• Remove each sheet of media as it prints and set aside to dry. Allowing wet media
to stack up might cause smearing.
• For instructions on calibrating color, see
Calibrate color.
Cards and envelopes
• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or
windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or
areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
• Always load envelopes into the printer with the flap facing the back of the printer
and the stamp position oriented according to the envelope icon.
Photo media
• Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes
longer and more memory is required from your computer.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack
up may cause smearing.
• Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl
more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in a resealable plastic
bag, and roll them into a tube. Roll the sheets so the curve of the tube is in the
opposite direction of the original curl of the paper. Roll the tube no smaller than a
1.5 inch (4 cm) in diameter.
