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. It takes longer for the ink to dry on the surface of photo paper or transparencies than it does on most printouts.

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

Page prints with different fonts

Make sure the correct printer is selected

When printing from an application, make sure the selected printer is the correct printer you want to use to print your job.

It is useful to have the default printer set to be the printer you use most often for printing.

Make sure the TrueType font is available on the computer

The font you are trying to print may not be available in the program font selection box. Not all fonts are designed to be printed; make sure the font is a TrueType font. See the program documentation for more information.

Make sure the fonts are applied correctly in the program

Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.
