The printout is faint or has gaps. What should I do?

• Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged. Check the LCD status display panel for a message that you're low on ink; see "Replacing an Ink Cartridge" on page 125 of your user's manual. Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper you're using. Make sure your paper isn't damaged, old, dirty, or loaded face down. Try using Automatic mode.
