Print Results Not Satisfactory

Check 1: Do the page size and media type settings match the size and type of the loaded paper?

When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result.

If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type settings 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 of confirming the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you do with your machine.

Check 2: Make sure that the appropriate print quality is selected referring to the table in Check 1.

Select a print quality option suitable for the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.

Note

• When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, set the print quality setting by using the operation panel on the machine.

  You cannot make this setting from a PictBridge compliant device.

• You cannot change the print quality setting when printing from a mobile phone.

Check 3: If the problem is not resolved, there may be other causes.
