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

• Try the following:
  • Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged.
  • Select a higher Quality Option or Print Quality and turn off High Speed mode in the Windows, Mac OS X 10.4, or Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 product software.
  • Make sure the paper Type or Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded.
  • Make sure the printable side of the paper is faceup. It's usually brighter or whiter.
  • Align the print head.
  • Your product 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.
  • The ink cartridges may need replacing.
