Troubleshooting
Printing Stops Before It is Completed
■
Check the status of the POWER lamp.
When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer is processing data. Printing a large
amount of data such as a photo or graphics takes time for the computer to process the
data, during which the printer may appear to not be functioning.
In addition, when continuously printing material that uses a large amount of black ink on
plain paper, the printer will sometimes pause. In either case, simply wait until the
processing is completed.
■
Stop the print job and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes to cool the print
head down.
The print head can overheat when continuously printing for long time. To protect the print
head, the printer will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before resuming.
In this event, interrupt the print job at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least
15 minutes.
Furthermore, when continuously printing graphics or photos with intense colors, printing
may stop to protect the print head. In this case, printing will not resume. Turn the printer
off and wait for at least 15 minutes.
Caution
➤
Inside the printer, the area around the print head can become extremely
hot. Do not touch the print head or nearby components.
