My printout is grainy when I print from any application. What should I do?

• Check the following:
  • Make sure the printable side of the paper is faceup. It's usually brighter or whiter.
  • Select a higher Print Quality and turn off High Speed mode in the Windows or Mac OS X printer software.
  • Select Level 5 (Windows) or Photo RPM (Mac OS X) as the Print Quality. Remember that this setting increases print time.
  • Align the print head.
  • You may need to increase the image resolution or print in a smaller size; see your software documentation.
