When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the print head nozzles are probably clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern to confirm the condition of the nozzles and then perform Print Head Cleaning. If the ruled lines are shifted after running print head maintenance, align the Print Head. Note Before performing maintenance z Open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and make sure that all lamps for the ink tanks are lit red. If not, see "Getting the Ink Status Information" on page 80 and take the appropriate action. z Increase the Print Quality setting in the printer driver settings. This may improve the print results.
