Horizontal lines across the image (banding)

If your printed image suffers from added horizontal lines as shown (the color may vary):

1.

Check that the paper type you have loaded corresponds to the paper type selected in the front
panel and in your software. To check on the front panel, use the

View loaded paper

key

.

2.

Check that you are using appropriate print-quality settings for your purposes (see

Printing

on page 55

). In some cases, you can overcome a print-quality problem merely by selecting a higher

print-quality level. For instance, if you have set the Print Quality slider to Speed, try setting it to
Quality. If you change the print-quality settings, you may wish to reprint your job at this point in
case the problem has been solved.

3.

Print the Image Diagnostics Print. See

The Image Diagnostics Print on page 163

.

4.

If the printheads are working correctly, go to the front panel and press the

View loaded paper

key

to see the paper advance calibration status. If the status is DEFAULT, try performing paper

advance calibration: see

Recalibrate the paper advance on page 149

.

If the problem persists despite all the above actions, contact your customer service representative for
further support.
