Printing troubleshooting

All-In-One 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. For more information, see page 7.

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 or in the All-In-One Center. For more information, see page 7 or page 6.

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