ENWW Selecting print media 19
Photo paper
z Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer and
more memory may be required from your computer and printer.
z Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may
cause smearing.
Transparencies
z Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing towards the
back of the printer.
z Use the Best 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.
Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.
Custom-size media
z Use only custom-size media supported by the printer.
z If your application supports custom-size media, set the media size in the application
before printing the document. If not, set the size in the printer driver. You might need to
reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-size media.
