You may notice streaks in printing for a couple of different reasons, in any event, basic troubleshooting will have your printer working properly again.
Streaked lines on paper may be caused by the printer being out of alignment. To correct this, access the printer's menu through the printer itself or via your PC and locate the "Calibrate Printer" option. Selecting this option will recalibrate the printer and help resolve and prevent streaking. On most devices, this option is relatively simple to find. However, if you are unable to locate the calibration option, refer to your owner's manual for step-by-step instructions on how to access the calibration settings based on your specific model.
Streaking lines may also be the result of the print quality being set too low. The print quality can be changed by accessing the printer's options through your PC's control panel and device settings.
- Select "Options" and then "Advanced Options" on your printer, then change the quality settings using the drop-down menu.
- Ensure that settings such as "Quick Draft" or "Low" are not selected and instead change print settings to "High" or "Best Quality".
If you find that after following this procedure you are still having a problem please contact us, include your order number, the model of printer, copy of the test page showing the quality of the print and a print quality report.
