Cause
Printing may be faint if Print

Paper rubs against the printhead

Cause
The type of paper specified in the
printer driver does not match the
type loaded in the printer.
Paper has been loaded incorrectly,
causing it to wrinkle.
The Printhead is set too low in the
Control Panel menu.
You are printing on heavyweight
paper or paper that curls or wrin-
kles easily after absorbing ink.
When you have loaded paper, the
paper you have loaded does not
match the type selected on the
Control Panel.
