My printout has lines running through it. What should I do?

  • Try the following:
    • Clean the print head nozzles.
    • Select a higher Quality Option or Print Quality and turn off High Speed mode in the printer software.
    • Make sure the paper Type or Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded.
    • Make sure the printable side of the paper is face-up. It's usually brighter or whiter.
    • On a Macintosh, try using Automatic mode.*
    • Align the print head.
    • Replace the ink cartridges.
    * The Epson Stylus CX9475Fax software works only with Windows XP, XP Professional x64 Edition, and Windows Vista 32- and 64-bit. It does not support Windows 2000 or Macintosh.
