If prints are unclear or specific colors are not reproduced even if there is plenty of ink, print head
nozzles may be clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern, check the results, then perform print head
cleaning. For details about maintenance, refer to “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are

When printing in grayscale, we recommend printing with the top and bottom margins of the paper set to
more than 45 mm / 1.77 inches. Depending on an image, without these margins, the printing troubles
may occur on the top and/or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration or white streaks, and
the print quality may be degraded. In this case, print the image using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided
on the
Setup CD-ROM
. Or, prepare paper whose longer side is at least 90 mm / 3.54 inches longer than
the length of the image, then print it with the top and bottom margins of the paper set to 45 mm / 1.77
inches using your page layout software. For details on how to use the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, refer to the
Photo Application Guide
.

You can use Easy-PhotoPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint Pro to easily do print operations when printing
