Copies Have Incorrect or Faint Colors

If your copies have incorrect, uneven, smeared, or faint colors, try these solutions:
• Run a print head nozzle check to see if any of the nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Do not press too hard on the original when you copy from the scanner glass.
• Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or use a small amount of glass cleaner on the
cloth, if necessary. Paper towels are not recommended.
Caution: Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.
• Clean the ADF.
• Wipe any dirt or dust off of your originals.
• Make sure your paper is not curled.
• When copying on thick paper, select a Thick Paper setting from the control panel (Settings >
General Settings > Printer Settings > Thick Paper). When this setting is enabled, copy quality may
decline and copy speed may decrease.
• If the back of the original appears in your printout, place a piece of black paper on the back of the
original and copy it again. You can also try lowering the Density setting.

Position, Size, or Margins of Copies are Incorrect

If the position, size, or margins of your copies are incorrect, try these solutions:
• When placing originals in the ADF, make sure the edge guides are against the edges of the paper.
• When placing originals on the scanner glass, make sure the original is placed correctly for scanning.
Align the corner of the original with the corner indicated by the symbol on the scanner glass. If
necessary, move the original away from the edges of the scanner glass slightly.
