    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.
