size of the paper loaded in the printer.
Ink Does Not Come Out/Printing Does Not Start/Printing Is Blurred/
Colors Are Wrong/Straight Lines Are Misaligned
Cause
FINE Cartridge is not installed properly
/ There is no ink left.
Media Type setting in the printer driver
does not match the actual type of
paper.
44 Troubleshooting
In Windows XP and Windows 2000, click Print Options on the Page Setup
sheet. Then, select the Reduce spool data size check box in the displayed
dialog.
Selecting Reduce spool data size may reduce the print quality.
If the page size setting, set in the application software you are printing from or in
the printer driver, does not match the actual size of the printing paper, part of the
page may not be printed.
Check the page size setting in your application. Then, check Page Size on the
Page Setup sheet in the printer properties dialog box of the printer driver
(Windows) or Paper Size on the Page Setup dialog box of the printer driver
(Macintosh).
Remove the FINE Cartridge, then reinstall it.
Small dusts may be stuck between the contact points. In this case, the print
result may be improved by reinstalling the FINE Cartridge.
Also, check that the protective tape (A) is removed.

Make sure that the Media Type set in the Main sheet of the printer driver
(Windows) or the Quality & Media in the pop-up menu of the Print dialog box
(Macintosh) matches the type of the loaded printing paper.
