• When horizontal banding appears or the top or bottom of the paper is smeared, load paper in the correct direction and slide the edge guides to the edges of the paper. • If you continue to see horizontal or vertical bands or streaks in your printouts after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can finely tune the horizontal or vertical alignment in the Maintenance menu. • If you continue to see horizontal bands or streaks in your printouts after cleaning the print head and adjusting the print quality, make print quality adjustments for each paper type. • If you are copying from the ADF, copy from the scanner glass instead or use a higher quality setting. • When vertical banding appears or the paper is smeared, clean the paper path. • You may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels. • If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility. Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality by cleaning the print head.
