If you have a high-resolution image

Quality Options box under Windows), print sharpness may be improved by selecting the Maximum Detail

option. This option is available only if you are printing on photo paper and you have selected Best print

quality.

> Custom. Set Quality level to Best, and Maximum detail to On.

The Maximum Detail option results in slower printing with photo papers, but it does not increase the

amount of ink used.

If your printheads have an excessive number of clogged nozzles (which may cause banding or white streaks

on your prints), print quality can be improved by selecting the More Passes option.

In the driver dialog (Mac OS X Print dialog): select custom instead of standard print-quality options,

then check the More Passes box.

On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Basic settings > Print quality > Custom. Set

Quality level to Best, and More passes to Yes.

NOTE:

The More Passes option results in slower printing, but it does not increase the amount of ink used.

TIP:

Instead of using this option, consider using the Image Diagnostics Print to identify the printhead or

printheads that are causing the problem, and then clean or replace them. See
