Faint Printout or Printout Has Gaps If your printouts are faint or have gaps, try these solutions: • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary. • The ink levels may be low. Visually check the ink levels. • Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded. • Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product. • Align the print head. • Adjust the print quality in the product software. • Clean the paper path. • 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.
