In Windows XP and Windows 2000, click Print Options on the Page Setup
sheet. Then, select the Reduce spool data size check box in the displayed
dialog.
Selecting Reduce spool data size may reduce the print quality.
Cause Action
Page Size setting in the printer driver
does not match the actual size of the
paper loaded in the printer. If the Page Size setting, set in the application software you are printing from or
in the printer driver, does not match the actual size of the printing paper, part of
the page may not be printed.
Check the page size setting in your application. Then, check Page Size on the
Page Setup sheet in the printer properties dialog box of the printer driver
(Windows) or the Page Setup dialog box of the printer driver (Macintosh).
You are performing automatic duplex
printing. When performing automatic duplex printing, the printable area at the top of the

bottom of the page may not be printed. To prevent this, select Use reduced
printing from the printer driver.

Ink tank is empty. Open the Top Cover and check the ink lamps.
If an ink lamp is flashing red slowly at about 3-second intervals, ink is running
low. If an ink lamp is either flashing red fast at about 1-second intervals or is not
lit, the tank is empty.
Replace the ink tank, and close the Top Cover.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 26.
