Printing is faint

Cause
You may be printing on
the wrong side of the
paper.
The Printhead nozzles are
clogged.
Because the printer was
left without ink tanks
installed for some time,
ink has become clogged
in the ink supply system.
Paper is jammed inside
the Top Cover.
The ink was not dry
when paper was cut.
Printing may be faint if
Print Quality in
Advanced Settings in
the printer driver is set to
Standard or Draft.
Corrective Action
Print on the printing surface.
Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and
see if they are clogged.
(See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging (10.2.2).")
After the ink tanks have been installed for 24
hours, run Head Cleaning B from the Control
Panel.
(See "Cleaning the Printhead (10.2.3).")
Follow the steps below to remove the jammed
piece of paper inside the Top Cover.
1. Open the Top Cover and make sure the
Carriage is not over the Platen.
2. Remove any scraps of paper inside the
Top Cover.
(See "Clearing Jammed Roll
Paper (11.2.2).")
(See "Clearing a Jammed Sheet (11.2.3).")
3. Close the Top Cover.
Specify a longer drying period in the Control
Panel menu, in Paper Details >Roll
DryingTime.
(See "Menu Settings (8.2.8).")
In Advanced Settings of the printer driver,
choose Highest or High in Print Quality.
Printing in Draft or Standard mode is faster
and consumes less ink than in Highest or
High modes, but the printing quality is lower.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic
Elements and Colors for Printing (3.1.4).")
