Close other open files before printing

Before sending a file to print, close all other open files in the program you are using. The printer prints a blank page when too many files are open in the same program.

Glossy photo paper or transparencies stick together

Do photos or transparencies dry and stick together on the paper exit tray?

Remove the photos or transparencies from the paper exit tray as they exit the printer. Allow them to dry before stacking. Because transparencies and photo papers do not absorb ink, the ink on the surface of the paper or transparency takes longer to dry than most printouts.

Are you using a transparency or photo paper designed for an inkjet printer?

For information on ordering supplies, see “Choosing compatible specialty paper types” on page 47.

Print is too dark or smudged

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Make sure the ink dry before handling the paper

Remove the paper as it exits, and let the ink dry before handling.

Make sure the Quality/Speed setting is appropriate for the paper type loaded in the printer

The Photo Quality/Speed setting may cause smearing if used with plain paper. If you are using plain paper, try using the Normal setting.
