Pages document

My printed document has horizontal lines that don't show up on document. How do I remove them when printing? Thank you.

Does this occur when printing documents other than those created in Pages?


Any time I've had a similar experience, the issue was with the printer rather than Pages, and usually required cleaning the print nozzles.


Your printer's software should provide a means of testing the printhead nozzles and for cleaning them. Depending on how long ago you last ran the cleaning routine, you may have to run it more than once to get the clogs out.


Instructions should be available in the manual you received with the printer. The manual (or the instructions) should also be available on the manufacturer's website.


On my all-in-one Epson model, it's a simple matter of menu choices on the printer/scanner's built in menu panel.

Barry
