Resolving Print Quality Problems
If the print results are unsatisfactory due to white streaks, misaligned/distorted lines, or uneven colors, check the paper and print quality settings first.
-
Check 1 Do page size and media type settings match size and type of loaded paper?
If these settings do not match, it is not possible to obtain the proper result.
If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, an incorrect paper type setting may reduce the quality of the printout color.
Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched.
In borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type setting and the loaded paper.
The method for checking the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you are using your printer for.

Copying from printer or printing from memory card
Check the settings using the operation panel of the printer.
