Faded or banded output: Run two or three Head Cleaning cycles from Settings > Maintenance and print a nozzle check.
Slow printing: Set print quality to Standard rather than Best and verify the paper type matches what's loaded.
Ink levels stuck: Power-cycle the printer for one minute and reseat the cartridges to refresh the chip handshake.
