Paper
Compatible Paper Types
You can use various types of paper.
z
Plain paper
This paper is normally used for copying and printing. Unlike inkjet plain paper or glossy paper, it is uncoated.
z
Inkjet plain paper
This extra-white plain paper makes the printed colours appear more vivid. Since it does not have an ink­absorbent coating, you can write on it and use it for photocopying, just like regular plain paper.
z
Glossy paper
This machine prints best on reduced-reflection glossy photo paper.
Paper for dye inks is not recommended because the machine's pigmented inks may not take properly to it or may smear or rub off. Glossy photo paper can be used in this machine provided it is compatible with pig­mented inks.
z
Inkjet transparency
Transparency film for equipment such as overhead projectors is designed for the pigmented inks used by the machine. Film for plain paper copiers cannot be used because it does not absorb ink. Film for dye inks is not recommended because the machine's pigmented inks may not take properly to it or may smear or rub off. Transparency film can be used in this machine provided it is compatible with pigmented inks.
z
Envelopes
For details about the types of envelope that can be used, see Paper Handling Precautions.
z
Thick paper
For details about the types of thick paper that can be used, see Paper Handling Precautions.
z
All types of paper besides thick paper can be loaded in tray 1.

Troubleshooting
Print Results Are Not Satisfactory
If there is a problem with the quality of the printing such as dirty or faint and patchy prints, first check the condi­tion of the printer.
Checking the Condition of the Printer
Have you printed the nozzle check test pattern?
Print the nozzle check test pattern to check whether the print head nozzles are all ejecting ink properly, and, if necessary, carry out head cleaning or head-flushing. The procedure is as follows:
1. Print the nozzle check test pattern.
2. If the printed test pattern has defects, carry out head cleaning, and then print the nozzle check test pattern again.
3. Repeat the steps of head cleaning and printing the nozzle check test pattern several times, and then check whether the defects in the printed test pattern have gone.
4. If the printed test pattern still has defects, carry out head-flushing, and then print the nozzle check test pat­tern again.
See p.68 "
Does the envelope selector setting match?
Set the envelope selector according to the type of paper. For envelopes, set the lever to the rear position ; for
everything else, set the lever to the forward position . See p.157 "
Has the printer not been used for a long time?
The ink may be dry or the nozzles of the print-heads may be clogged. Print the nozzle check test pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.68 "
Have the print-heads been aligned?
If the image is fuzzy or lines are doubled, align the print-heads. If the problem persists, print the nozzle check test pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.70 " and p.69 "
Is there a problem with the printer's location?
Make sure that the printer is level. Place the printer in a location where it will not be subject to shaking or exces­sive force.

Printing Is Uneven, Too Heavy, or Too Light
If there is a problem with the quality of the printing such as uneven printing or an inappropriate amount of ink being used, the following questions should be addressed.
Is an old Print cartridge being used?
Print cartridges should be opened before their expiration date and used within six months of being opened.
92
Troubleshooting
Does the paper type setting match?
Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver matches the type of paper loaded. See p.157 "
on Various Paper Types".
Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?
Check which side should be printed on when using inkjet plain paper. If you print on the wrong side, the quality of the printing may be lower and the inside of the printer may get dirty. See p.28 "
Paper Handling Precautions".
Printing
Dirty or Blotted Prints
If prints are dirty or blotted, the following questions should be addressed.
Is the paper being used too thick or thin?
Check if the paper is compatible. If extremely thick or thin paper is used, the print-heads will rub the paper and ink will leak. See p.26 "
Have you touched the printed side of paper?
Avoid touching the printed side of paper. Particularly, avoid touching glossy paper and inkjet transparency that have just been printed because these require longer than normal to dry. Remove them one at a time from the out­put tray without touching the printed side, and then let them dry fully. See p.28 "
Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?
Some paper cannot be loaded lengthwise depending on the size of the paper. Check the orientation in which the paper is loaded. See p.26 "
Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities".
Paper Handling Precautions".
Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities".
Is a genuine Print cartridge being used?
Using a cartridge other than a genuine Print cartridge or using a cartridge refilled with ink will lower the print quality and could cause a breakdown. Use a genuine Print cartridge. See p.121 "
ables".
Are you printing densely coloured images on both sides of paper?
When a large amount of ink is used to completely cover a side, one-sided printing is recommended.
