Print Results Are Not Satisfactory Are you printing densely colored images on both sides of paper? When a large amount of ink is used to completely cover a side, one-sided printing is recommended. Colors Do Not Match the Displayed Image If there are differences between colors of the print results and the displayed image, the following questions should be addressed. Has the hue of colors been adjusted? Since printed colors and screen colors are produced by different methods, a color printed and a color displayed on a screen can have different hues even though they are the "same" color. Use the color matching function to make the hue of printed colors and displayed colors closer. Has the nozzle check been performed? The print-heads may be clogged and the amount of ink may not be able to be regulated. Print the nozzle check test pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.160 "Nozzle Check", p.162 "Headcleaning". Was printing done in black and white? Check the color setting of the application and the color print setting of the printer driver. Have the print quality settings been made? 7 In the [Print Quality] area, select [Quality priority], or [Speed priority], and then print. Does the paper type setting match? Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver matches the type of paper loaded. Have you tried printing with inkjet plain paper? Try printing with inkjet plain paper. The print results should be clearer. Positions Do Not Match the Displayed Image If the position of printed items differs from the position of displayed items, the following questions should be addressed. Have the settings for page layout been made? Check whether page layout settings have been made with the application. Does the paper size setting match? Make sure that the paper size selected in the [Printout paper size:] list of the printer properties dialog box matches the size of the paper loaded. 243
