Printing is faint

Cause

Corrective Action

You may be printing on the wrong
side of the paper.

Print on the printing surface.

The Printhead nozzles are clogged.

Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.
(See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging.")

→P.739

Because the printer was left without
ink tanks installed for some time,
ink has become clogged in the ink
supply system.

After the ink tanks have been installed for 24 hours, run Head Cleaning B from
the Control Panel.
(See "Cleaning the Printhead.")

→P.740

Paper is jammed inside the Top
Cover.

Follow the steps below to remove the jammed piece of paper inside the Top
Cover.

Open the Top Cover and make sure the Carriage is not over the Platen.

2.

Remove any scraps of paper inside the Top Cover.
(See "Clearing Jammed Roll Paper.")

→P.773

(See "Clearing a Jammed Sheet.")

→P.777

The ink was not dry when paper
was cut.

Specify a longer drying period in the Control Panel menu, in Paper Details >
Roll DryingTime.
(See "Menu Settings.")

→P.673

Printing may be faint if Print
Quality
in Advanced Settings in
the printer driver is set to Standard
or Draft.

In Advanced Settings of the printer driver, choose Highest or High in Print
Quality

Printing in Draft or Standard mode is faster and consumes less ink than in
Highest or High modes, but the printing quality is lower.
