• Adjust the print quality in the product software.

• Clean the paper path.

• If you printed when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows, refill the ink tanks to

the upper lines and run the Power Cleaning utility. Then run a nozzle check to see if print quality has
improved.

• 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.

Note:

Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that

extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.
