See "When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect" on page 114 and
perform any necessary maintenance operation.
See "An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD" on page 133 to identify the ink
error, and then take the appropriate action depending on the error condition.
Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.
See "Paper Handling" on page 21 to make sure that the paper you are using is
suitable.
If the paper is curled, see "Paper is curled." on page 143 to correct paper curl.
Clean the Paper Feed Roller. Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller will wear the
roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.
For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller Cleaning)"
on page 127.
Make sure of the following when you load paper in the machine.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets
before loading.
Always load the paper in portrait orientation, either in the Rear Tray or
Cassette, regardless of the printing orientation.
When loading paper in the Rear Tray, load the paper with the print side facing
UP. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the Cover Guide and slide
the Paper Guide so that it just touches the left edge of the stack.
When loading paper in the Cassette, load the paper with the print side facing
DOWN. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the right edge of the
Cassette and slide the Paper Guides against the left and bottom edges of the
stack.
When loading paper, make sure that the paper is not set over the Load Limit
Mark.
For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 26.
