If your printout is blurry or
smeared . . .
■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or
loaded face down (the printable side
should be loaded face up). If it’s
damp, reload a new stack of paper.
■ Use a support sheet with special
media or try loading your media
one sheet at a time.
■ Make sure your paper or media
meets the specifications listed in
your electronic EPSON Stylus
COLOR 900 Manual.
■ Run the Print Head Alignment
utility. See page 56 for instructions.
■ Check the paper thickness lever
position. If it’s in the + position,
your printer is set for thicker paper
or envelopes and your image may
smear. For most papers, set the paper
thickness lever to the 0 position, as
shown on the facing page.
If your printout is faint or has gaps
in the image . . .
■ Make sure the print head nozzles are
not clogged. To clean the print head,
see page 48.
■ Make sure your paper isn’t damaged,
old, dirty, or loaded face down. If it
is, reload a new stack of paper with
the printable side up. The printable
surface is usually whiter or shinier.
