Check the ink cartridges
Make sure the correct ink cartridges are installed and the ink cartridges are not low on
ink. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels.
Check the margin settings
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the
printer. For more information, see Set minimum margins.
Check the color print settings
Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.
Check the printer location and length of USB cable
High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes
cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the
electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less
than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.
