Introducing your printer

Chapter One

Your printer is a general purpose color inkjet printer that provides high quality text and photos. You can use your printer all by itself to print photos, or connect to your computer when you want to print on single sheet paper, envelopes, labels, index cards, coated paper, glossy film, photo paper, transparencies, greeting cards, and iron-on transfers.

This User’s Guide describes how to use your printer with a computer. For information about using your printer all by itself, refer to the Getting Started booklet that tells you how to use your printer without a computer.
