Printing Maintenance

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
procedures below to maintain the print head.
Important
Before maintaining the print head, check the following:
z
Open the front cover and make sure 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.
z
Increase the Print Quality setting in the printer driver
settings.
Note
If Print Head Deep Cleaning does not resolve the problem, contact the
Customer Care Center.
