• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set. • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software. • If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first. Adjust the density and/or ink drying time settings. • If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel. • The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels. • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary. • Align the print head. • Adjust the print quality in the product software. • Clean the paper path. • If you printed when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows, refill the ink tanks to the upper lines and run the Power Cleaning utility. Then run a nozzle check to see if print quality has improved. • 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. Note: Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.
