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:

• Clean the print head.

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

• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper faceup.

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

• Align the print head.

• You may need to replace the ink cartridges.
