If you select a paper size that is too large for the paper you loaded, the product may print beyond the edges of the paper and cause ink to smear. • Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product. • When manually printing 2-sided, make sure the ink is completely dry before loading the paper. • Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed. • Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set. • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software. • If you printed on the wrong side of photo paper, clean the paper path. • If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first. Adjust the density and/or ink drying time settings. • Lower the copy density setting on the product control panel. 224
