White or Dark Lines in Printout
If you notice white or dark lines in your prints (also called banding), try these solutions before you reprint:
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.
• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
• Align the print head. If print quality does not improve after aligning the print head, disable the
bidirectional (high speed) setting.
• Adjust the print quality in the product software.
• If you are copying from the ADF, copy from the scanner glass instead or use a higher quality setting.
• Clean any dust or dirt from your originals.
