laptop computer, cell phone, or digital camera, you can transfer files directly to the
printer for fast wireless printing. If you need more information on what IR is, see
“Understanding infrared” on page 27.

• Document receives and prints a document file.
• Photo receives and prints a photo file.

size paper. If you print them on standard size paper, photos print centered horizontally
