Print Results Not Satisfactory

If the print result is not satisfactory due to white streaks, misaligned lines, or uneven colors, confirm the

paper and print quality settings first.

• Check 1: Do the page size and media type settings match the size and

type of the loaded paper?

of the printout color.

Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched.

In borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type

setting and the loaded paper.

The method of confirming the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you do with

your machine.
