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

Try the following:
• The print head nozzles may need cleaning.
• Select a higher Quality Option or Print Quality and turn off High Speed mode in the Windows, Macintosh OS X 10.5, or Macintosh OS X 10.3 and 10.4 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.
• With Macintosh OS X 10.5 or Macintosh OS X 10.3 and 10.4, try using Automatic mode.
• Align the print head.
• Your Epson printer won't operate properly if its tilted or at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions.
• The ink cartridges may need replacing.
