Cleaning the Print Head Maintenance If the test page from "Test print head" is faint or uneven, confirm that you are printing on the correct side of the paper, and the driver setting and ink levels are correct.

Reference:If print quality is still poor, refer to Changing the Print Head. You can save the ink consumption by checking the box for the print head which has poorer print result.
