NOTE:

Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see

The print is scuffed or scratched

on page 154

.

Change the drying time

You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints
where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.

NOTE:

Most paper types require no drying time.

Select the Setup menu icon

, then Print retrieval> Select drying time. You can select:

Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry

Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper

Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance

None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it finishes printing

TIP:

If the ink is not dry when the print is removed, it could leave ink in the output tray and marks on

the print.

NOTE:

If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper right

away due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the printer cuts
the paper and then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is greater than zero,
the printer does not cut the paper until after the printhead maintenance has completed, even if the

Form

feed and cut

key has been pressed.
