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

• Try the following:
  • Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.
  • Align the print head.
  • Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
  • Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
  • Your product won't operate properly if it's tilted or at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions.
  • You may need to replace the ink cartridges.
