Miscellaneous Printout Problems

Check the margin settings in your application.
Check the printer settings on the Main window (Windows) or in the Page Setup dialog box or Print dialog box (Macintosh). Make sure the settings are appropriate for the paper size you are using. See online help for details.

Printout has smears
If the paper is curled toward the printable side, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction.
Load and eject dry paper several times to clean the roller inside the printer. If the problem persists, ink may have leaked inside the printer. In this case, check the photo cartridge and replace it if it has leaked. To clean the roller inside, see the User’s Guide -for use without a computer- manual.
Printing is too slow
Clear the Enhance Fine Details check box if it is checked on the Main menu in Windows or in the Print Settings dialog box in Mac OS X. See online help for details.
Close any unnecessary applications.
If you print continuously for an extended period, the paper may temporarily stop feeding or the print head may pause for a while. This is to slow down the printing speed and prevent the printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. If this happens, you can continue to print, but we recommend stopping and leaving the printer for about thirty minutes with the power on. (The printer does not recover with the power off.) After you restart, the printer will print at normal speed.
If you use the printer in places subject to direct sunlight, heat sources, or high temperature such as in the car, move the printer to the shade or a cool place.
If you try all of the methods above and cannot solve the problem, see the following:
