NOTE:

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

amount of ink used.

If you have printhead problems

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

The Image Diagnostics Print

Print with no margins

Printing with no margins (to the edges of the paper) is known as borderless printing. This can be done only on
rolls of photo paper.

In order to be sure of leaving no margins, the printer prints slightly past the edges of the paper. Any ink
deposited outside the paper is absorbed by the sponge situated in the platen.

You can request printing with no margins in the following ways:

In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab and press the Margins/Layout button.
Then select Borderless.

In the Mac OS X Page Setup dialog: select a paper size name that includes the words “no margins”.
Then, in the Print dialog, select Margins/Layout > Borderless.

NOTE:

If your application offers no Page Setup dialog, please use the Print dialog.

In the Mac OS X PostScript Page Setup dialog: select a paper size name that includes the words “no
margins”. Then, in the Print dialog, select Margins/Layout > Borderless.

NOTE:

If your application offers no Page Setup dialog, please use the Print dialog.

On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Advanced settings > Paper > Layout/Margins
> Borderless.

When you select Borderless, you must also select one of the following Image Enlargement options:
