50 Troubleshooting
When using paper with one printable surface, make sure the paper is loaded
with the printable side facing up.
Printing on the wrong side of such paper may cause unclear prints or prints with
reduced quality.
Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the paper for detailed information
on the printable side.
The print result may be improved by reinstalling the FINE Cartridge.
Also, check that the protective tape (A) is removed.
