Grainy Printout

If your printouts are grainy, try these solutions:
• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper facedown in the cassette or faceup in the rear
feed slot.
• Select a higher print quality setting and turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Align the print head.
• You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software
documentation.
