Solution
● The print cartridge may be running out of ink. Check the ink level from the
printer menu. Press Menu, select Tools, press OK, then select Cartridge
status. Replace the cartridge if necessary. For more information, see

you took the photo. For better results in the future, set the digital camera to a
higher resolution.

loaded with the side to be printed facing up.

The photos I marked for printing in the digital camera do not print.
Solution Some digital cameras let you mark photos for printing both in the
camera's internal memory and on the memory card. If you mark photos in the
internal memory, and then move photos from the camera's internal memory to the
memory card, the marks do not transfer. Mark photos for printing after you
transfer them from the digital camera's internal memory to the memory card.
