My printout has lines running through it. What should I do?
-
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.
- Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper facedown in the cassette or faceup in the rear MP tray.
- Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
- Align the print head.
- You may need to replace the ink cartridges.
