as lines of banding, they may appear grainy instead. The banding

 

or graininess will appear in all the colors.

 

 

1If the image is grainy, this could also be a symptom of problems with the bidirectional alignment (See Solving Bidirectional Alignment Problems 6-12). If the Bidirectional Alignment pattern has no problems go to step two.

2Make sure that the media selection made in the front panel is the same as the media that you have loaded.

3It is possible that the banding was caused because the customer was using non-HP media. If the customer still wants to use non-HP media, recalibrate the paper accuracy by performing the User’s Accuracy calibration and NOT the Service Accuracy Calibration (Refer to the User’s Guide). Performing this will overwrite the default setting for only the paper that you have selected.

4Perform the Printheads alignment procedure (Refer to the User’s Guide).

 

For high production modes, use the Banding Calibration Ÿ￿Page
