Solving Print Quality Problems
You see horizontal banding.
■Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged. To run a cleaning cycle, see page 107.
■Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded. See page 49 for guidelines.
■Make sure the printable side of the paper is face up. It is usually whiter or shinier.
■Check the ink out lights. If either light is flashing, replace the ink cartridge; see page 111. If your ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it; see page 115.
■If you see banding when you print, but not when you copy, try using Automatic mode. See page 41 for instructions.
■Make sure you’re not using the Maximum Printable Area setting. Banding may occur in the expanded area. See page 42 for more information.
