Note

If you are not using Photo Printing Accelerator in your driver (see page 1-33for details), or if you

are using a software or hardware RIP, you must have a Pentium III 700 MHz or higher processor with 512MB RAM to keep the printer running at full engine speed.

Caution

Using an improperly shielded USB cable— especially a cable more than 6.6 ft. (2 meters) long—may cause the printer to malfunction.
