Issue
Banding in different colors occurs
Cause and Solution
<Cause1> The paper feed amount is out of adjustment.
<Corrective Action1>
Adjust the feed amount.
<Corrective Action2>
If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors by the trailing edge (about 20–30 mm (0.8–1.2 in) from the edge), try adjusting the feed amount of the trailing edge of sheets.
<Cause2>Printing does not proceed smoothly because print jobs are interrupted during transmission.
<Corrective Action>
Exit other applications and cancel other print jobs.
<Cause3> In the Control Panel menu, [Adj. Priority] is set to [Print Length].
<Corrective Action>
Setting [Adj. Priority] to [Print Quality] in the Control Panel menu and adjusting the feed amount may improve results.
<Cause4> The Printhead is out of alignment.
<Corrective Action>
Adjust the Printhead alignment.
<Cause5> The Printhead nozzles are clogged.
<Corrective Action>
Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.
<Cause6>Streaks may occur if you set the [Print Quality] too low.
<Corrective Action>
Choose a higher level of [Print Quality] in the [Advanced Settings] of the printer driver and try printing again.
Printing in [Fast] or [Standard] mode is faster and consumes less ink than in [Highest quality] or [High] modes, but the printing quality is lower.
<Cause7> The type of paper specified in the printer driver does not match the type loaded in the printer.
<Corrective Action1>
Load paper of the same type as you have specified in the printer driver.
<Corrective Action2>
Make sure the same type of paper is specified in the printer driver as you have loaded in the printer.
1. Press the [Stop] button and stop printing.
2. Change the type of paper in the printer driver and try printing again.
