Photo smudges or scratches

To prevent photo smudging or scratching, avoid touching the printed surface with your fingers or sharp objects. For best results, remove each printed sheet individually from the paper exit tray, and allow the prints to dry at least 24 hours before stacking, displaying, or storing.

Partial 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo prints when using a PictBridge-enabled digital camera

Make sure photo size and paper size are set correctly

The printer displays the Paper/Photo Size Error when your chosen photo size does not match the paper size that is set. This typically happens when you are trying to print from your PictBridge-enabled digital camera. You may have left the printer control panel Photo Size menu item setting at 8.5 x 11 in. or 5 x 7 in. size, but your camera has a print size of 4 x 6 in. or L. You need to make sure your chosen photo size on the printer is

4 x 6 in. or 10 x 15 cm, depending on the typically used photo size for your country or region.

Make sure the 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo paper is loaded correctly in the paper support.

If your camera lets you change the print size setting, change the print size selection to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) on the PictBridge-enabled digital camera.
