Blurry Or Smeared Printout - Epson STYLUS COLOR 680 Manual

Blurry or smeared printout

Try one or more of these solutions:
❏ Make sure your paper is dry and the printable side is facing
up. Also, make sure you're using an acceptable paper type.
See "Paper" on page A-1 for specifications.
❏ Select Automatic as the Mode setting on your printer driver's
Main menu (Windows) or in the Print dialog box (Macintosh).
❏ If the paper is curled toward the printable side, flatten it or
curl it slightly toward the opposite side.
❏ Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed,
especially if you are using transparencies.
❏ If you are printing on glossy media or transparencies, place a
support sheet (or a sheet of plain paper) beneath the stack. Or,
load one sheet at a time.
❏ Run the Head Cleaning utility.
❏ Run the Print Head Alignment utility.
❏ Ink may have leaked inside the printer; wipe the inside of the
printer with a soft, clean cloth.
