■ Set the paper thickness lever to the
0 position. Set the lever to the +
position when you print on thicker
paper or envelopes. You may also
need to turn off High Speed in the
printer software.
Your printout is blurry or smeared.
■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or
curled, or loaded face down (the
printable side should be face up). If
it’s damp or curled, reload a new
stack of paper.
■ Use a support sheet with special
paper, or try loading your paper
one sheet at a time.
■ Make sure your paper meets the
specifications listed in the on-screen
Reference Guide.
■ Use EPSON papers to ensure
proper saturation and absorption
of genuine EPSON inks.
■ Run the Print Head Alignment
utility. See page 11 for instructions.
■ Check the paper thickness lever
position. If it’s in the + position,
your printer is set for thicker paper
or envelopes. If you’ve loaded other
paper, your image may smear. For
most papers, set the paper thickness
lever to the 0 position, as shown to
the left.
■ Remove each sheet from the output
tray after printing, especially when
you’re printing on transparencies.
Your printout is faint or has gaps in
the image.
■ The print head nozzles may need
cleaning; see page 5 for
instructions.
■ The ink cartridges may be old or
low on ink. To replace an ink
cartridge, see page 7.
