Streaks appear in a light portion of a photo

If streaks appear in a light portion of a photo, approximately 63 mm (2.5 inches) from one of the long edges of the photo, try the following solutions:

●Install a photo print cartridge in the printer.

●Rotate the image 180°.

●Open the Printer Properties dialog box, click the Paper/Quality tab, and then set the Print quality to Maximum dpi.

If light or dark horizontal lines appear on photos:

1Clean the print cartridges.

2Reprint the photo.

3If the lines still occur, perform a print quality calibration.

Both a black and a tri-color print cartridge must be installed for print quality calibration.

4Reprint the photo.
