text is wrong,
garbled, or
incomplete.

Finally, try a new machine
cable.

Check the application’s
printer selection menu to
ensure that your machine is
selected.
The software
application is
malfunctioning.
Try printing a job from
another application.

Exit Windows and reboot the

off and back on again.

CONDITION

SOLUTIONS
The print quality
of photos is not
good. Images are
not clear.
The resolution of
the photo is very
low.
Reduce the photo size. If
you increase the photo size
in the software application,
the resolution will be
reduced.
Before printing,
the machine
emits vapor near
the output tray.
Using damp paper
can cause vapor
during printing.
This is not a problem. Just
keep printing.
The machine
does not print
special- sized
paper, such as
billing paper.
Paper size and
paper size setting
do not match.
Set the correct paper size in
the Custom in the Paper tab
in the Printing Preferences.
(See "Opening printing
preferences" on page 38.)
