Solving Problems

Your printer is performing routine 
maintenance.

Make sure your system meets the 
requirements listed on pages 49 and 50. 
If you’re printing a high-resolution 
image, you need more than the 
minimum requirements listed. You may 
also need to:

■

Clear space on your hard drive or 
run a defragmentation utility.

■

Close programs that you’re not 
using.

■

Increase your system’s memory.

For the fastest printing, try these tips:

■

Choose 

Black

 ink if your document 

doesn’t include color.

■

Set the Quality/Speed slider to 

Speed

.

■

In the Advanced window, turn 

MicroWeave

®

 off and/or turn 

High 

Speed

 on.

■

If your printer is connected to a hub, 
disconnect unused USB devices.

■

If you’re using the parallel port, 
enable ECP/DMA mode on your 
computer’s parallel port. See your 
computer documentation or the 
manufacturer for instructions.

■

The print head nozzles may need 
cleaning; see page 25 for 
instructions. 

■

Make sure the Media Type setting 
matches the paper you loaded; see 
page 18 for guidelines.

■

Make sure the printable side of the 
paper is face up. It’s usually whiter 
or shinier.

■

The ink cartridges may need 
replacing. To replace an ink 
cartridge, see page 27.

■

Try using Automatic mode. See 
page 11 (Windows) or page 14 
(Macintosh) for instructions.

■

Run the Print Head Alignment 
utility; see page 32 for instructions.
