Printing is faint

You may be printing on the wrong

side of the paper.

The ink was not dry when paper

was cut.

The Printhead nozzles are

clogged.

Because the printer was left

without ink tanks installed for some

time, ink has become clogged in

the ink supply system.

Paper is jammed inside the Top

Cover.

Printing may be faint if Print

Quality in Advanced Settings

in the printer driver is set to

Standard or Draft.

Print on the printing surface.

Close the Top Cover.

Specify a longer drying period in the Control Panel

menu, in Paper Details > Roll DryingTime.

Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if

they are clogged.

After the ink tanks have been installed for 24 hours,

run Head Cleaning B from the Control Panel.

Troubleshooting

Colors in printed images are

uneven

Line Drawing/Text is selected

when printing images in many solid

colors.

You are printing on paper that curls

easily.

Printed colors may be uneven if

you set the Print Quality too low.

Color may be uneven between

dark and light image areas.

Density may be uneven if you use

Glossy Paper or Coated Paper.

When borderless printing is used,

the edge of the paper is cut during

printing. Thus, ink density may be

slightly uneven at the edges.

The Printhead is out of alignment.

Drying documents stacked on

each other may cause uneven

colors.

In Print Priority in the Advanced Settings of the

printer driver, choose Image.

Printed colors may appear uneven on the leading

edge of paper that is susceptible to curling. Select

a stronger level in VacuumStrngth in the Control

Panel menu to increase suction against the paper, or

specify a trailing margin of 20 mm (0.79 in) or more.

Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the

Advanced Settings of the printer driver.

Select Unidirectional Printing in the Advanced

Settings of the printer driver.

In Advanced Settings of the printer driver, choose

Highest or High in Print Quality.

Specify No in Auto Cut in the printer driver before

printing. In this case, the paper can be printed without

borders on the left and right sides only. Cut the printed

document ejected from the printer, then use scissors

to cut away the edges on the top and bottom.

Adjust the Printhead alignment.

Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the

Advanced Settings of the printer driver.

To avoid uneven colors, we recommend drying each

sheet separately.
