• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• Align the print head.

• Clean the paper path.

• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Ink Flushing utility.

Note:

Flushing the ink tubes replaces all the ink inside the tubes, so flush the ink only if you cannot

improve print quality by other means. See the ink flushing section for details.

Note:

Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that

extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.
