The printer displays the Paper/Photo Size Error when your chosen photo size does not match the paper size
that is set. This typically happens when you are trying to print from your PictBridge-enabled digital camera. You may
have left the printer control panel Photo Size menu item setting at 8.5 x 11 in. or 5 x 7 in. size, but your
camera has a print size of 4 x 6 in. or L. You need to make sure your chosen photo size on the printer is
4 x 6 in.
or 10 x 15 cm, depending on the typically used photo size for your country or region.

If your camera does not allow you to change the paper size setting, use the control panel to change the paper
size to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm).
