The A3000 cannot print in the extreme margins of a
page. Use these minimum settings:
• Left and right margins:
6.35 mm (0.25 in.) each for all paper sizes except A4
For A4 size paper - 3.37 mm (0.133 in.) each
• Top and bottom margins:
Top - 1.7 mm (0.067 in.)
Bottom - 12.7 mm (0.5 in.), and 0.75 in. for color
To improve the print quality of vertical straight lines in
tables, borders, and graphs:
• Select a higher print quality setting.
• Test the cartridge alignment. For help, see page 41.
• Clean the print nozzles. For help, see page 43.
Make sure:
• The Paper Type setting in the Printer Properties
matches the paper type loaded.
• The paper is straight and unwrinkled.
• The ink is dry before you handle the paper.
