What should I do if my printout has lines running through it?

If you notice white or dark lines in your prints (also called banding), try these solutions before you reprint:

Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if necessary.
Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.
Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper faceup.
Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
Align the print head.
You may need to replace the ink cartridges.
