Check the installation steps in Chapter 3 to reinstall the ink
cartridge or print head unit.
The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing prints.
The print head may need cleaning. See Chapter 3 for
instructions.
The ink cartridge may be too old. A cartridge is too old if it has
been used longer than six months or beyond the date on its
packaging. First clean the print head as described earlier in this
chapter. If this does not solve the problem, replace the ink
cartridge.
The cable between the printer and computer may not meet the
specifications for the printer or computer. See “System
Requirements” in the Setup Guide for cable guidelines.
Turn off the printer and perform a self test as described in
Chapter 1 of the Setup Guide. If the self test does not print, the
problem is with the printer. If the self test prints correctly, the
problem is probably caused by your software.
