Printout Problems
Printout is Scuffed or Color is Missing
❏
If you have not used the printer for a long time, the print head nozzles may be clogged and ink drops may not
be discharged. Perform a nozzle check, and then clean the print head if any of the print head nozzles are
clogged.
❏
If you printed when the ink level was too low to be seen in the ink tank window, refill the ink tank to the upper
line and then use the
Power Cleaning
utility to replace the ink inside the ink tubes. After you use the utility,
perform a nozzle check to see if print quality has improved.
