Cause
Corrective Action
Allowing printed documents to dry on top of
each other may cause uneven colors.
To avoid uneven colors, we recommend drying each sheet separately.
Density may be uneven if you use Glossy
Paper or Canon Coated Paper.
In Advanced Settings of the printer driver, choose Highest quality or High in Print Quality.
The type of paper specified in the printer
driver does not match the type loaded in the
printer.
Load paper of the same type as you have specified in the printer driver.
(See "Loading Rolls in the Printer.")
(See "Loading Sheets in the Feed Slot.")
Make sure the same type of paper is specified in the printer driver as you have loaded in the
printer.
1.
Press the Stop button and stop printing.
2.
Change the type of paper in the printer driver and try printing again.
Colors may be uneven at the trailing edge
when you print on heavyweight sheets even
if you execute Adj Far Ed Feed.
For heavyweight sheets or similar paper, execute Adj Far Ed Feed with the Front Tray Guides
raised. Also keep the Front Tray Guides raised during printing.
Lower the Front Tray Guides when printing on paper other than heavyweight sheets.
Scan Wait Time > Area in the Control Pan-
el menu is set to Leading edge.
When Scan Wait Time > Area is set to Leading edge, colors may be uneven 110–140 mm from
the leading edge. (The position varies depending on the Print Quality setting.)
In this case, select Scan Wait Time > Area > Entire area.
However, note that printing will now take longer.
(See "Menu Settings.")
When you load paper in the Front Paper
Feed Slot and print, colors may be uneven
at the leading edge of the paper.
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
Printing in Fast or Standard mode is faster and consumes less ink than in Highest quality or
High modes, but the printing quality is lower.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic Elements and Colors for Printing.")
Straighten the paper if it is warped, and then load it straight into the printer.
(See "Loading Sheets in the Feed Slot.")

In the Control Panel menu, set Head Height to a lower height.
(See "Troubleshooting Paper Abrasion and Blurry Images.")
