Black Ink
This printer allows you to set both photo black ink and
matte black ink and switch between them depending on
the paper type.
Photo Black ink reduces the grainy feeling of photo

papers giving them a smooth, professional finish. Matte
Black ink significantly increases black optical density
when printing on matte type papers.
See the following section to select a suitable black ink for

the media type.
Note:
If there is not enough ink remaining for the switch, you
will need to replace the cartridge. It may be possible to
print with ink cartridges that could not be used for a black
ink switch.

About Power Management

Turning Off the Power You can adjust the time before Power Management is
applied. Any increase will affect the printer’s energy
Using Power Off Timer efficiency. Please consider the environment before
making any change.
The printer offers the following two power management
options.
Sleep mode
The printer enters sleep mode when there are no errors,
no print jobs being received, and no control panel or
other operations performed. When the printer enters
sleep mode, the control panel's screen turns off and the
internal motors and other parts switch off to consume
less power.
Sleep mode is cleared if a print job is received or a button

on the control panel is pressed.
The delay before the printer enters sleep mode can be

selected from values between 5 and 210 minutes. At
default settings, the printer enters sleep mode if no
operations are performed for 15 minutes. The delay can
be changed from the Preferences menu.
U “Preferences” on page 123
Note:
When the printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's
screen goes blank as if the power has been turned off, but
the P light remains lit.
Power Off Timer

The printer is equipped with a Power Off Timer option
that automatically turns the printer off if no errors
occur, no print jobs are received, and no control panel or
other operations are performed for a set period of time.
The delay before the printer turns off automatically can
be selected from values between 1 and 24 hours in
increments of 1 hour.
The default setting is 8 hours.
The printer turns off automatically if no errors occur, no

print jobs are received, and no operations on the panel

Paper Suction -4 to 0 (0*) It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the paper
used in order to maintain the correct distance between the paper and the
print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft paper will increase
the distance between the paper and the print head, causing print quality
to decline or preventing the paper feeding correctly. In such cases, you will
need to lower the paper suction. The suction power is weakened when the
parameter is lowered.
Drying Time Per Pass 0 to 10 seconds (0*) Select the time the print head pauses to allow drying after each pass.
Choose from values between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds. Depending on the

grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive, royalty-free,

4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In each such instance, You must make sure the
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof.
5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are
granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from Apple
which Apple may grant in its sole discretion.
194
6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or
more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility,
and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such Additional
Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and every Contributor
harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such
Additional Terms.
7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each
version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been published under a particular
version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such
Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. No one other than Apple
has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or not
fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be
incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any
portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT
WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S)
(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL
CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF
ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND
EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF
THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR
REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR
WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR
ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended
for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control
machines in which case the failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or
environmental damage.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE
OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE
OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS
DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other
than as may be required by applicable law) under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).
10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple
Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks, service marks,
logos or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade
name belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the name of products
derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code other than as
expressly permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which
are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.
195
11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest
in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original
Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications
will not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license such Apple
Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may choose not to
license them at all.
12. Termination.
12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:
(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure such
breach within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach;
(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or
(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action
for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence an action for patent infringement
against You in that instance.
12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction,
modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have
been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited to
Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or damages of
any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will
be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101. Government software
and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined
in this License. This customary commercial license in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR
12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for Department of Defense purchases, DFAR
252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or
Computer Software Documentation). Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only
those rights set forth herein.
13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture or any
other form of legal association between or among You, Apple or any Contributor, and You will not represent to the
contrary, whether expressly, by implication, appearance or otherwise.
13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair Apple's right to acquire, license, develop, have
others develop for it, market and/or distribute technology or products that perform the same or similar functions as, or
otherwise compete with, Modifications, Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop, produce,
market or distribute.
13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Apple or any Contributor to enforce any provision of this License will not be
deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any law or regulation which provides that the
language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.
196
13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or portion
thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to
effect the economic benefits and intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue in full force and
effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law prohibits or restricts You from fully and/or specifically
complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of either of those Sections, this License will
immediately terminate and You must immediately discontinue any use of the Covered Code and destroy all copies of it
that are in your possession or control.
13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple relating to this License
shall take place in the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction
of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within that District with respect to this License. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof. This License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California,
except that body of California law concerning conflicts of law.
Where You are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, the following clause applies: The parties hereby confirm
that they have requested that this License and all related documents be drafted in English.
Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
