Horizontal lines appear on a photo

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.

If the problem is not caused by the source image, follow these steps:

1Remove all paper from the In tray.

2Load the paper correctly in the In tray.

3Verify that the paper guide fits firmly against the edge of the paper.

4Follow loading instructions for the paper type.
