Loading Paper Paper Sources Loading Paper in the Rear Tray Loading Paper in the Cassette Loading Envelopes 31
Paper Sources The printer has two paper sources for feeding paper, the rear tray (A) and cassette (B). The paper source used depends on the page size and media type. Supported Media Types Note • When printing, select the correct page size and media type. If you select the wrong page size or media type, the printer may feed paper from the wrong paper source or may not print with the proper print quality. For details on how to load paper in each paper source, see below.
Loading Paper in the Rear Tray You can load plain paper or photo paper. You can also load envelopes on the rear tray. Loading Envelopes Important • If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm) or 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm) to perform trial print, it can cause paper jams.

Note • If the problem is not resolved after cleaning the print head twice, clean the print head deeply.
Deep Print Head Cleaning If print quality does not improve by the standard cleaning of the print head, clean the print head deeply. Cleaning the print head deeply consumes more ink than the standard cleaning of the print head, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary. You need to prepare: a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the cassette.
The confirmation screen will appear. 7. Select Yes. The printer starts cleaning the print head deeply.
