    Issue

    If printed documents are affected by the following problems, try adjusting the printhead.
    • Printing is faint or affected by banding in different colors
    • Printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment
    • Paper rubs against the printhead, or image edges are blurred

    Cause and Solution

    • Printing is faint or affected by banding in different colors
    Execute "Nozzle Check" to check for printhead nozzle clogging.

    • Printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment
    Execute "Head Posi. Adj." to adjust the printhead position.
    Normally, execute "Auto(Standard)", "Auto(Advanced)", or "Auto(Expansion)". However, when using special paper or if printing is not improved after executing "Auto(Advanced)", try "Manual".

    • Paper rubs against the printhead, or image edges are blurred
    Executing "Head Height" to adjust the printhead height may improve printing results.
