Printout Problems

Print Quality Is Poor

Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors,
misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.
❏ Use paper supported by this printer.
❏ Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
❏ If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.
❏ When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
❏ Select the appropriate paper type setting on the control panel or in the printer driver for the type of paper
loaded in the printer.
❏ Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
❏ If you have selected Standard-Vivid as the quality setting on the Windows printer driver, change to Standard. If
you have selected Normal-Vivid as the quality setting on the Mac OS X printer driver, change to Normal.
