Blurry or Smeared Printout If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions: • Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product. • Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time. • Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product. • Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks. • Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded. • Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product. • Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed. • Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set. • 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. • 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. • Clean the paper path. 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.

Blurry or Smeared Printout

If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:

• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.

• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.

• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.

• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.

• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.

• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.

• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.

• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.

• 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.

• 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.

• Clean the paper path.

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.
