Print Results Are Unsatisfactory

If the print results are unsatisfactory due to white streaks, misaligned lines, or uneven colors, check the
paper and print quality settings first.

Check1

 Do page size and media type settings match size and type of loaded paper?

If these settings do not match, it is not possible to obtain the proper result.

If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, an incorrect paper type setting 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.

The method for checking the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you are using your printer
for.

For Windows, you can check media type settings using the printer driver.

Basic Printing Setup

Check2

 Make sure appropriate print quality is selected on the computer.

Select a print quality suited to the paper and to what you are printing. If you notice blurs or uneven colors,
increase the print quality setting and retry the printing.

For Windows, you can check print quality settings using the printer driver.

Changing the Print Quality and Correcting Image Data
