For most papers, set the paper thickness lever to the

position.

If your printout is blurry or smeared . . .

■

Make sure your paper isn’t damp or loaded face down (the printable side should
be loaded face up). If it’s damp, reload a new stack of paper.

■

Use a support sheet with special media or try loading your media one sheet at a
time.

■

Make sure your paper or media meets the specifications listed in your electronic
EPSON Stylus COLOR 900N Manual.

■

Run the Print Head Alignment utility. See page 85 for instructions.

■

Check the paper thickness lever position. If it’s in the

position, your printer is

set for thicker paper or envelopes and your image may smear. For most papers, set
the paper thickness lever to the

position, as shown above.
