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.

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

• Align the print head.

• You may need to replace the ink cartridges.

Blurry or Smeared Printout

If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:

• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded faceup in the cassette (the printable side

should be facedown).

• Make sure your paper is not loaded facedown in the rear MP tray (the printable side should be

faceup).

• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.

• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.

• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
