You may be printing on the wrong side
of the paper.
Print on the printing surface.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged. Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.
(See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging.") →User's Guide
Because the printer was left without ink
tanks installed for some time, ink has
become clogged in the ink supply sys-
tem.
After the ink tanks have been installed for 24 hours, run Head Cleaning B from the Control
Panel.
(See "Cleaning the Printhead.") →P.55

(See "Clearing Jammed Roll Paper.") →P.100

Advanced Settings in the printer driver
is set to Standard or Fast.
In Advanced Settings of the printer driver, choose Highest quality or High in Print Quality.
Printing in Fast or Standard mode is faster and consumes less ink than in Highest quality or
High modes, but the printing quality is lower.
