Blurry or smeared print

❏ We recommend using Epson paper.

❏ Try to use genuine Epson ink cartridges.
❏ Make sure the printer is on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions. The printer will not
operate properly if it is tilted.
❏ Make sure your paper is not damaged, dirty, or too old.
❏ Make sure your paper is dry and the printable side is facing up in the rear MP tray.
❏ Make sure your paper is dry and the printable side is face down in the paper cassette.
❏ If the paper is curled toward the printable side, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction.
❏ Make sure the paper type selected in the printer driver is appropriate for the type of paper loaded in the printer.

❏ Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.
❏ Do not touch or allow anything to come into contact with the printed side of paper with a shiny finish. To handle
your prints, follow the instructions of the paper.
❏ Run the Nozzle Check utility. If any missing segments or broken lines are observed on the printed pattern, clean
the print head.
