Troubleshooting
Try this solution:
Print smearing may occur in two ways:
•
Print is smeared as the printer prints the page.
•
A page prints without smearing, but is smeared by damp ink
on the next page exiting the printer.
Try the following suggestions to prevent print smearing:
•
If print is smeared as the printer prints the page, change to a
higher or lower Print Quality setting.
•
If the page is smeared by the next page exiting the printer,
the ink may still be damp when a page finishes printing.
Remove the pages as they exit the printer and allow them to
dry before stacking.
See "Printer pauses frequently during a print job" on page 43.
Try using a different fill pattern in your application software.
Make sure you have the Lexmark 1000 Series ColorFine printer
driver selected as the default printer.
Try the following suggestions to improve print quality of vertical
straight lines in tables, borders, and graphs:
•
Clean the print cartridge nozzles. See "Cleaning the print
nozzles" on page 32.
•
Perfom a printhead alignment test. See "Aligning the print
cartridge" on page 32.
•
Change Print Quality to something other than Fast Draft
300dpi.
