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.
• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
• Align the print head.
• Adjust the print quality in the product software.
• If you continue to see horizontal or vertical bands or streaks in your printouts after cleaning and
aligning the print head, you can finely tune the horizontal or vertical alignment in the Maintenance
menu.
• You may need to replace the ink cartridges.
