When you

Make sure to

Load plain paper

Use plain paper designed for inkjet printers.

Load cards

  • Use cards (greeting cards, index cards, photo cards, or postcards) designed for inkjet printers.
  • Check that the thickness does not exceed 0.025 inches or 0.63 mm.
  • Load the cards vertically against the right side of the paper support.
  • Note: If you are printing photos on cards, we recommend that you remove each photo as it exits and allow it to dry to avoid smearing ink. Photos require more drying time.

Load envelopes

  • Use envelopes designed for inkjet printers.
  • Load them vertically against the right side of the paper support.
  • Load them with the stamp location on the upper left corner.
  • Squeeze and slide the paper guide to the left edge of the envelopes.
  • Note: Do not load envelopes with holes, perforations, cutouts, deep embossing, metal clasps, metal folding bars, string ties, or exposed flap adhesive.

Load coated paper

  • Use coated paper designed for inkjet printers.
  • Load with the coated side facing you.

Load photo or glossy paper

  • Use photo or glossy paper designed for inkjet printers.
  • Load with the glossy side facing you.
  • Note: Since photos require more drying time, we recommend that you remove each photo as it exits and allow it to dry to avoid smearing ink.

Load iron-on transfers

  • Use iron-on transfers designed for inkjet printers.
  • Load them one at a time.
  • Load them with the print (blank) side of the iron-on transfers facing you.
  • Load iron-on transfers vertically against the right side of the paper support.

Load transparencies

  • Use transparencies designed for inkjet printers.
  • Load them with the rough side facing you.
  • Separate the paper backing sheets from the transparencies before you load them.
  • Place the transparencies with the removable strip away from you and toward the All-In-One.
  • Note: Since transparencies require more drying time, we recommend that you remove each transparency as it exits and allow it to dry to avoid smearing ink.
