Print Quality Problems

■
Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or
glossy side).
■
For the best print quality, use EPSON papers (see page 4) and genuine EPSON ink
cartridges (see page 25).
■
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type setting on the control
panel or in your printer software (see page 12).
■
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a
nozzle check (see page 23) to see if the print head needs cleaning.
■
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online
User's Guide for instructions.
■
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge levels (see page 24) and
replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 26).
■
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not
recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.
