Print Results Not Satisfactory
If the print result is not satisfactory due to white streaks, misaligned lines, or uneven colors, confirm the
paper and print quality settings first.
Check1
Do the page size and media type settings match the size and type of the loaded
paper?
When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result.
If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type settings may reduce the quality of the
printout color.
Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched.
In borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type setting and
the loaded paper.
Confirm the page size and media type settings using the printer driver.
Check2
Make sure that the appropriate print quality is selected using the printer driver.
Select a print quality option suitable for the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or uneven colors,
increase the print quality setting and try printing again.
You can confirm the print quality setting using the printer driver.
