Your printout is blurry or
smeared.
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or
loaded face down (the printable side
should be loaded face up). If it’s
damp, reload a new stack of paper.
Use a support sheet with special
media or try loading your media
one sheet at a time.
Make sure your paper or media meets
the specifications listed in
your electronic Reference Guide.
Run the Print Head Alignment
utility. See page 46 for instructions.
Check the paper thickness lever
position. If it’s in the + position,
your printer is set for thicker paper
or envelopes and your image may
smear. For most papers, set the paper
thickness lever to the 0 position, as
shown on page 55.
Your printout is faint or has gaps in
the image.
Make sure the print head nozzles are
not clogged. To clean the print head,
see page 37.
Check the control panel lights to see
if the ink cartridges are low on ink.
To replace an ink cartridge, see
page 41.
Make sure the Media Type setting
matches the paper you loaded. See
page 35 for guidelines.
Make sure your paper isn’t damaged,
old, dirty, or loaded face down. If it
is, reload a new stack of paper with
the printable side up; it is usually
whiter or shinier than the other side.
