    Banding in different colors occurs

    Cause and Solution

    <Cause1> The paper feed amount is out of adjustment.
    <Corrective Action>
    Adjust the feed amount.

    <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.
