Faint Printout or Printout Has Gaps

If your printouts are faint or have gaps, try these solutions:

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• The ink level may be low. Visually check the ink level.

• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.

• Align the print head.

• Adjust the print quality in the product software.

• Clean the paper path.

• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.

Note:

Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality

by cleaning the print head.
