Print Results Not Satisfactory

If the print result is not satisfactory due to white streaks, misaligned lines, or uneven colors, confirm the paper and print quality settings first.

1. Check1 Do the page size and media type settings match the size and type of the loaded paper?

   When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result.

   If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type settings may reduce the quality of the printout color.

   Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched.

   In borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type setting and the loaded paper.

2. Check2 Make sure that the appropriate print quality is selected referring to the table in Check 1.

   Select a print quality option suitable for the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or uneven colors, increase the print quality and try printing again.

3. Check3 If the problem is not resolved, there may be other causes.
