Good to know

There are various types of paper, such as paper with a special coating for photos. Each type has preset settings, to give you the best image quality. The wrong paper settings may cause poor color quality or scratches on the printed surface. If you notice blurring or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try to print again.

This printer has a function that detects if the information set for the paper loaded on the rear tray matches the paper settings. When this function is enabled, an error message displays if these settings don't match. If you see the error, check and correct the paper settings.
