Understanding supported media types
All media support up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting
might temporarily use a large amount of hard disk  space (400 MB or more) and will print slower.
Photo cartridge, if present, further enhances the print quality.
