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.

Load envelopes with the flaps facing up and to the right or the back of the tray.

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.

Transparencies

Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing towards the back of the device.

Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the output tray.

Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.

Custom-sized media

Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.

If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized media.

Understand specifications for supported media

Use the Understand supported sizes and Understand supported media types and weights tables to determine the correct media to use with your device, and to determine what features will work with your media.
