Image Edges Are Blurred Or White Banding Occurs - Canon iPF8300S User Manual

Cause
When borderless printing is used,
the edge of the paper is cut during
printing. Thus, ink density may be
slightly uneven at the leading edges.
The Printhead is out of alignment.
Allowing printed documents to dry
on top of each other may cause un-
even colors.
Density may be uneven if you use
Glossy Paper or Coated Paper.
The type of paper specified in the
printer driver does not match the
type loaded in the printer.
Scan Wait Time > Area in the
Control Panel menu is set to Lead-
ing edge.

Image edges are blurred or white banding occurs

Cause
The Platen suction is too strong.
Incorrect Printhead alignment
value.
The type of paper specified in
the printer driver does not
match the type loaded in the
printer.
