When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, even if ink remains in
the ink tanks, the print head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the

Important
Before maintaining the print head, check the following;
z
Open the front cover and make sure that the ink tank
contains ink. If it is out of ink, replace it.
z
Ensure that all the orange tape of the ink tank has been
peeled off.
z
Press "PUSH" on the ink tank and ensure that the ink tank
is installed securely.

Increase the Print Quality setting in the printer driver
settings.
