Print Quality Is Poor
Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors,
misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.
❏
Use paper supported by this printer.
❏
Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
❏
If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.

When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.

loaded in the printer.
❏
Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
❏
