Printing is faint
Printing is faint
Cause
You may be printing on the wrong
side of the paper.
The Printhead nozzles are clog-
ged.
Because the printer was left with-
out ink tanks installed for some
time, ink has become clogged in
the ink supply system.
Paper is jammed inside the Top
Cover.
The ink was not dry when paper
was cut.
User's Guide
Print on the printing surface.
Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.
(See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging.")
To check for nozzles after printing, set Frequency in Nozzle Check in the Control Panel menu to a
setting other than Off.
Furthermore, to have a warning displayed depending on the result of the nozzle check, set Warning
in Nozzle Check in the Control Panel menu to On.
Note that when Warning is set to On, printing may stop depending on the content of the warning.
(See "Menu Settings.")
