Faint Printout or Printout Has Gaps

If your printouts are faint or have gaps, try these solutions:

•Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.

•The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to replace them.

•Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.

•Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.

•Align the print head.

•Clean the paper path.
