■ 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

Your printout is blurry or smeared.
■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or
curled, or loaded face down.
■ Use a support sheet or load your
paper one sheet at a time.
■ Make sure your paper meets the
specifications in the electronic
Reference Guide.
■ Use EPSON papers to ensure
proper saturation and absorption
of genuine EPSON inks.
Non-EPSON media may not be
compatible and may produce ink
bleeding or pooling.
■ Run the Print Head Alignment
utility. See page 29 for instructions.
■ Check the paper thickness lever
position. If it’s in the + position,
your printer is set for thicker paper
or envelopes and 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.
■ Make sure the print head nozzles
are not clogged. To clean the print
head, see page 21.

see if the ink cartridges are low on
ink. To replace an ink cartridge, see
page 24.
