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.
Align the print head.
Adjust the print quality in the product software.
When horizontal banding appears or the top or bottom of the
paper is smeared, load paper in the correct direction and slide the
edge guides to the edges of the paper.
If you continue to see horizontal bands or streaks in your
printouts after cleaning the print head and adjusting the print
quality, make print quality adjustments for each paper type.
If you are copying from the ADF, copy from the scanner glass
instead or use a higher quality setting.
Clean any dust or dirt from your originals.
Clean the ADF.
When vertical banding appears or the paper is smeared, clean
the paper path.
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.
