Paper problems 
 

•   Printer ejects the paper 

If you are performing a colour calibration, install both the tri-colour and photo print 
cartridges.

 

 

If you are printing a borderless document and the Resume light and Print Cartridge 
Status light are flashing, follow the guidelines below.

 

 
 
Print quality is poor 

 
•   streaks and missing lines 

If your printed pages are missing lines or dots or if streaks appear, the print 
cartridges may be low on ink or may need to be cleaned

 
•   Print is faded 

Verify that a black print cartridge is installed. 
If the black text and images on your printouts are faded, you may be printing using 
only the tri-colour print cartridge. Insert a black print cartridge, in addition to the tri-
colour print cartridge, for optimal black print quality. 
Verify that neither of the print cartridges is low on ink. 
If a print cartridge is low on ink, consider replacing the print cartridge. 
Verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from the print 
cartridges. 
Consider selecting a higher print quality.

 

 

•   Blank pages print 

The protective piece of plastic tape may still be attached to the print cartridges. 
Verify that the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridges. 
The print cartridges may be out of ink. Replace one or both empty print cartridges.  

 
•   Too much or too little ink appears on the page 

Adjust the ink volume and dry time:  
1.  Open the printer properties dialog box. 
2.  Select the PAPIERART/QUALITÄT control field 
3.  Click on the Ink  
4.  Move the Ink Volume slider toward Light or Heavy.
