Epson Stylus Color 200 User Manual page 89

Use a higher quality paper. Also, check that the Media Type
setting in the driver is set for the type of paper or other media
you loaded. If you are using the 720 dpi printing mode, you get
better results if you use EPSON special coated paper for 720
dpi or EPSON high-quality glossy paper.
You may be printing on special coated or glossy paper at
360 dpi with the monochrome print head unit. For better
results, print on plain paper or transparencies or use the color
head unit and print using composite black.
Check whether your paper is moist or damp. Ink jet printers
are sensitive to moisture absorbed by paper. Do not store paper
in damp or humid places.
If you are printing color graphics at 360 or 720 dpi, make sure
MicroWeave is on and High Speed mode is off. Also check that
the Brightness and Contrast settings are appropriate for the
image.
Turn on non-smear printing mode, if necessary, as described in
Chapter 4.
Make sure the correct print head unit is selected in the printer
driver. Select Color for the color print head and Mono for
monochrome print head.
Try using the printer driver's Auto Document Type feature to
let the driver determine the appropriate image settings.
Your Windows video driver may not be compatible with the
printer. Use the standard Windows VGA driver or contact the
manufacturer of your video card for an updated driver. For
information on changing the video driver, see your Windows
documentation.
Clean the print head as described in Chapter 5.
Replace the ink cartridge as described in Chapter 5.
