1200 dpi) Print Quality from the Document/Quality tab
of Printer Properties. For help, see page 5.

• Test the cartridge alignment. For help, see page 24.

• Clean the print nozzles. For help, see page 25.

Characters are missing or unexpected

paper type loaded in the printer.

• The paper is straight and unwrinkled.
