■Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings in your printer software (see page 15).
■For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 6) and genuine Epson ink cartridges (see page 18).
■If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 16 to see if the print head needs cleaning.
■Clean the print head as described on page 17.
■If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See your online Epson Information Center for instructions.
■The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink (see page 19 for instructions on replacing an ink cartridge).
