incorrect settings in the print driver can be
causing the print-quality problems.

perform the Print Calibration procedure. At the
control panel, press the Home button, then touch
Device > Tools > Troubleshooting > Calibration >
Print Calibration > Next, then follow the
instructions.

Then repeat this procedure for each affected
color. For details, see Cleaning the Printhead
