• Dry printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying printouts, avoid direct sunlight, do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of the paper. • Do not stack printouts immediately after printing. • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software. • If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first. Adjust the density and/or ink drying time settings. • The ink level may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink level. • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary. • Align the print head. • Adjust the print quality in the product software. • Clean the paper path. • Clean the paper rollers. • Do not press too hard on the original or the document cover when you are scanning originals on the scanner glass. • Clean the scanner glass. • Clean the ADF. • Use the ink before the date printed on the package. • 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. Note: Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.
