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.

Ink levels seem incorrect

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

ARE YOU PRINTING GRAPHICS OR PHOTOS?

When you print documents with a large number of graphics, or when you print using the Best setting on the Print Setup tab, the printer uses more ink. The type of documents you print and the print quality you select affect the amount of ink the printer uses.

ARE YOU PRINTING A LARGE FILE?

The ink levels displayed in the printer software are not updated during a print job; they represent the ink level at the beginning of a print job. The ink levels may seem inconsistent in the Printing Status window when you are printing a large file.
