Printing troubleshooting

A blank page prints

1Make sure you remove the sticker and transparent tape from both print cartridges. For help installing print cartridges, see page 39.

2Make sure the print cartridges are properly installed (see page 39).

3Make sure you loaded the paper correctly and did not force the paper into the AIO (see page 8).

4Make sure the Lexmark 3100 Series is set as the default printer (see page 54).

AIO prints slowly

1Close all programs not in use. The memory resources may be low.

2Make sure the Print Properties Quality/Speed setting is set on Normal or Quick Print (see page 18).

3Try printing a smaller file. If the memory resources are too low, you may not be able to print larger files. Consider purchasing more memory.

Note: Photographs typically have a larger file size. Try lowering the scanning resolution.

Print is too dark or smudged

1Remove the paper as it exits. Let the ink dry before handling.

2Adjust the Quality/Speed setting in Print Properties (see page 18) or in the All-In-One Center (see page 14).

The Better or Best Quality/Speed setting may cause smearing if used with plain paper. Try using Normal.

3Open the Lexmark Solution Center (see page 19).

4From the Maintenance tab, click Clean to fix horizontal streaks.
