My printout has lines running through it. What should I do?

• Try the following:
  • The print head nozzles may need cleaning.
  • Select a higher Quality Option or Print Quality and turn off High Speed mode in the Windows or Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.3 and 10.4 printer software.
  • Make sure the paper type or media type setting matches the paper you loaded.
  • Make sure the printable side of the paper is face up. It's usually brighter or whiter.
  • With Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.3 and 10.4, try using Automatic mode.
  • Align the print head.
  • The ink cartridges may need replacing.
  • The printer won't operate properly if it's tilted or at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions.
