c. Press the down arrow button to highlight Tools, and then press OK.
d. Press the down arrow button to highlight Print Quality Report, and then press
OK.
The product prints a print quality report that you can use to diagnose print quality
issues.
7. Evaluate the print quality report for defects such as streaked or faded color bars or
ragged text.
To evaluate the print quality report
a. Check the ink levels shown on the page. If a cartridge shows very low ink levels
and you find the print quality unacceptable, consider replacing that ink cartridge.
Print quality typically deteriorates as cartridges run out of ink.
b. Look at the color bars in the middle of the page. The bars should be solid, have
sharp edges, and extend with uniform color all the way across the page.
