Lexmark 5300 - Manual (Page 136)

Printed characters are improperly formed or are not aligned
correctly
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
A
LIGN THE PRINT CARTRIDGES
The cartridges may be out of alignment.
1 Load plain paper.
2 From the Finder desktop, double-click the Lexmark 5300 Series folder.
3 Double-click the Lexmark 5300 Series Utility icon.
4 From the Maintenance tab, click Print Alignment Page.
5 Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
C
LEAN THE PRINT CARTRIDGES
You may need to clean the print cartridge nozzles.
Photo smudges
To prevent smudging, avoid touching the surface of a printed photo. For best results, remove each printed sheet
individually from the paper exit tray, and allow the prints to dry at least 24 hours before stacking, displaying, or
storing.

M
AKE SURE PHOTO SIZE AND PAPER SIZE ARE SET CORRECTLY
The printer displays the Paper/Photo Size Error when your chosen photo size does not match the paper
size that is set. This typically happens when you are trying to print from your PictBridge-enabled digital camera.
You may have left the printer control panel Photo Size menu item setting at 8.5 x 11 in. or 5 x 7 in. size,
but your camera has a print size of 4 x 6 in. or L. You need to make sure your chosen photo size on the printer
is 4 x 6 in. or 10 x 15 cm, depending on the typically used photo size for your country or region.
• Make sure the 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo paper is loaded correctly in the paper support.
• If your camera lets you change the print size setting, change the print size selection to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) on
the PictBridge-enabled digital camera.
• If your camera does not allow you to change the paper size setting, use the control panel to change the paper
size to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm).
1 Insert the USB cable that came with your camera to the camera, and insert the other end into the PictBridge
port on the front of the printer.
2 Turn the camera on, and choose your first photo using the camera control panel.
3 Wait for PictBridge Printing to appear on the display of the printer control panel.
Note: If Paper/Photo Size Error appears, press to clear the error message.
