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. If print quality does not
improve after aligning the print head, disable the bidirectional
(high speed) setting.
- Adjust the print quality in the product
software.
- 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 replace the ink pack.
