Check the print cartridges

improvement in the print quality by performing the alignment procedure yourself. See
Using the print
cartridges .
Check the graphics placement
Use the zoom or print preview feature of your software to check for gaps in the placement of graphics
on the page.
Lines or dots are missing from text or graphics
The printer may be in Ink-backup Printing Mode
The printer enters Ink-backup Printing Mode when one of the print cartridges is empty or removed.

by clicking the Estimated Ink Level tab. If the print cartridge is low on ink, replace it (see Inserting the
print cartridges ).
