Incorrect Colors Parent topic: Solving Problems White or Dark Lines in Printout If you notice white or dark lines in your prints (also called banding), try these solutions before you reprint: • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary. • Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded. • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software. • Align the print head. If print quality does not improve after aligning the print head, disable the bidirectional (high speed) setting. • Adjust the print quality in the product software. • Clean any dust or dirt from your originals. • You may need to replace the ink cartridges. • 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.
