Cleaning the Printhead
Corrective Actions
1. If the lines in Test Pattern 1 are not straight and connected, align the
printhead (see
“Aligning the Printhead” on page 5-8
).
2. If any of the colored blocks in Test Pattern 2 show white lines, are faded or
completely missing, clean the printhead (see
“Cleaning the Printhead” on
page 5-7
). Follow the front-panel prompts and perform all three levels of
cleaning if necessary.
3. If the problem persists, clean the printhead again.
4. If the problem remains, replace the ink cartridge (see
“Replace Ink Cartridge”
on page 5-3
) corresponding to the streaked, faded, or missing color block in
Test Pattern 2.
5. If the problem continues to persist, replace the printhead (see
“Replacing the
Printhead” on page 5-9
). If the printhead is still in warranty, contact your
Varitronics Dealer for support.
Cleaning the Printhead
If your print is streaked or has incorrect or missing colors, the printhead may need
to be cleaned. There are three stages of cleaning. Each stage lasts about two
minutes, uses one sheet of paper, and an increasing amount of ink. After each
stage, review the quality of the printed page. You should initiate the next phase of
cleaning
only if the print quality is poor.
If print quality still seems poor after completing all stages of cleaning, try aligning
the printhead.
Note: Cleaning uses ink, so clean the printhead only when necessary.
CAUTION! CAUTION!
Failing to turn off the printer correctly can cause print-quality problems.
