Adjusting Print Quality
If your print quality declines, you may need to run a utility to clean or align the print head.
If running these utilities does not solve the problem, you may need to replace the ink cartridges or ink
packs, clean the roll paper feeder, or run a Power Cleaning.
Note:
Your product may differ from the images in this section, but the instructions are the same unless
