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, see

if the print head nozzles are clogged and clean them. 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 that the ink tank contains ink. If it is out

of ink, replace it.

z Ensure that the orange tapes from the ink tanks have 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 maintenance does not resolve the problem, contact the Customer

Care Center.
