Large Black Font Text

Look at the large-font text above the color blocks. I ABCDEFG abcdefg The type should be sharp and clear. If the type is jagged, try aligning the printer. If there are streaks or smears of ink, clean the printhead.

Example of good Large-Font Type

The letters are sharp and clear - the printer is operating correctly.

Example of bad Large-Font Type

The letters are jagged - align the printer.

Example of bad Large-Font Type

The letters are smeared - clean the printhead and check if the paper is curled. To avoid curl, store all paper flat in a resealable bag.

Example of bad Large-Font Type

The letters are ragged on one end - clean the printhead. If this defect occurs right after a new black cartridge is installed, the printer's automatic servicing routines may solve the problem in a day or so, using less ink than a printhead cleaning.

Alignment Patterns

If the color bars and large font text look OK, and the ink cartridges are not empty, look at the alignment pattern directly above the color bars.

Example of a good alignment pattern

The lines are straight.
