The printed image is faint or has gaps
The colors displayed
on your monitor don’t
match the printed
colors.
Because your monitor and printer use different technologies to represent
colors, your printed colors can’t exactly match the colors you see on your
monitor screen. Use the ICM (Windows 95 or Windows 98 only), sRGB
(Windows 98), or ColorSync (Macintosh) settings to get as close a
match as possible. See Custom Printing
for more information.
The color settings in
your application
software need
adjustment.
You may be able to adjust various color settings in your application
software. See your software documentation for more information.
Possible cause Solution
The print head nozzles
are clogged.
Clean the print head. See Cleaning the Print Head
for instructions.

setting doesn’t match
the loaded paper.
