6-18 Phaser 300X Color Printer
A dark and heavy coat of ink appears that starts at either side of the page and runs
toward the middle.
Clean the printhead and use a different type of paper.
Refer to “Print quality problems” on page 6-13 for details on how the CLEAN
PRINT HEAD button works.
In vertical rows of dots, one row is offset from the others or missing. Make a test
print (press the TEST PRINT button). If a row is offset, the ink from one of
the ink jets is being deflected ( A ); if a row is missing, one of the ink jets is not
functioning ( B ). Use the CLEAN PRINT HEAD button to clean the printhead;
then make several test prints to help clean the paper path.
