Print quality tips
If streaking or print quality problems occur, first
check that the printheads are positioned
correctly in the carrier:
1Press Menu> until you see the Utilities
Menu.
2Press Select.
3Press Menu> until you see Change
Printhead.
4Press Select.
5Open the printer cover.
6Raise the carrier handle up and back down
to reseat the printheads.
7Close the cover and reprint your job.
If you do not see any improvement, do a Short
Clean, which fixes most print quality problems.
1From the Utilities Menu, press Menu> until
Clean Printheads appears on the display.
2Press Select.
Short Clean appears on the display.
3Press Select.
Once the Short Clean finishes, a test page
prints four color bars.
If the print quality is still unsatisfactory, do a
Long Clean (see Cleaning the Printheads on the
User’s Guide CD). Keep in mind that a Long
Clean uses a substantial amount of ink and takes
some time to run.
If the problem persists, follow steps 1-5 above,
remove the printheads, and wipe the copper
contact area with a damp, lint-free cloth.
