Slow printing

NOTE: When printing a large number of prints, printing may slow down to prevent the printhead from

overheating.

Make sure the printer is not placed in direct sunlight or is not operating in a high-temperature

environment (higher than 95° C or 95° F).

Close unnecessary software applications.

Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements. Upgrade your system if

necessary.

White edges on borderless prints

Probable cause

White edges can appear when there are slight misalignments between the printer and paper. Some
software applications are able to "hide" these small misalignments so that the prints look borderless like
they are supposed to.

Corrective action

Use the application's Fit to Page/Fill Page option or resize the picture so it is slightly larger than the paper
size.

Copy troubleshooting

Copies faded or dull colours

Probable cause 1

The copy quality is set to Draft.

Set the copy quality to Normal or Best.

See Set copy quality or Copy settings.

Probable cause 2

The brightness setting for copies is set too light.

Adjust the brightness setting to darker.

See Change brightness or Copy settings.
