*2 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature or humidity). In such cases, reduce the number of paper you load at a time to less than half (100% recycled paper can be used).

*6 When printing photos onto stickers from your computer, you can specify the print setting easily by using the Easy-Photo Print EX provided with the Setup CD-ROM.
