Suggestions
Clean the print head. (See Cleaning the print head on page 141.)
Check the printing alignment. (See Checking the printing alignment on page 142.)
Make sure the paper is loaded properly in the paper tray and the paper side guide
is adjusted correctly. (See Loading paper and other media on page 16.)
Make sure the Jam Clear Cover is set properly.
Make sure the paper is not too thick or curled. (See Acceptable paper and other
media on page 12.)
Make sure you are using the recommended types of paper. (See Acceptable
paper and other media on page 12.) Don't handle the paper until the ink is dry.
Make sure the printer platen is not dirty with ink. (See Cleaning the machine printer
platen on page 140.)
Make sure you are using the paper support flap. (See Loading paper and other
media on page 16.)
Check Reverse Order in the Basic tab of the printer driver.
In the printer driver Basic tab, click Settings, and uncheck Bi-Directional Printing.
Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the
same.
Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data
processing, sending and printing time. Try the other quality settings in the printer driver
Basic tab. Also, click Settings, and make sure you uncheck Colour Enhancement.
Turn the borderless feature off. Borderless printing is slower than normal printing.
