White or Dark Lines in Printout

If you notice white or dark lines in your prints (also called banding), try these solutions before you reprint:

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

necessary.

• Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.

• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.

• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.

• Align the print head.

• You may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.

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

Note:

Flushing the ink tubes replaces all the ink inside the tubes, so flush the ink only if you cannot

improve print quality by other means.
