Selecting Basic Print Settings - Mac Related topics Loading Paper Solving Print Quality Problems Check these sections if your printouts have problems with print quality, but your image looks fine on your computer screen.

White or Dark Lines in Printout Blurry or Smeared Printout Faint Printout or Printout Has Gaps Grainy Printout Incorrect Colors Parent topic: Solving Problems Related topics Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems White or Dark Lines in Printout If you notice white or dark lines in your prints (also called banding), try these solutions before you reprint: • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary. • Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded. • Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product. • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software. • Adjust the print quality in the product software. • You may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels. • If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility. Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head. 260
