See "When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect" on page 50 and

See "An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD" on page 68 to identify the ink
error, and then take the appropriate action depending on the error condition.
Make sure all of the protective film is peeled off and the air hole is exposed, as
illustrated in (A). If the orange tape is left as in (B), pull the orange tape and
remove it.

See "Media Types You Cannot Use" on page 9.
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 61.
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 Front
Tray, 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 Front Tray, load the paper with the print side
facing DOWN. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the right edge
of the Front Tray and slide the Paper Guide against the left edge of the stack.
When loading paper in the Front Tray, make sure that the paper is not set
over the Load Limit Mark on the Paper Guide.
For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 13.
