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. • 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. • Align the print head using the Print Quality Adjustment setting. • Clean the paper path.
