Routine Maintenance When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, the print head nozzles on FINE Cartridges are probably clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern to confirm the condition of the nozzles and then perform Print Head Cleaning. If print results are not satisfactory, performing Print Head Alignment may improve print quality. Note Before performing maintenance z Make sure that a FINE Cartridge has not run out of ink.
Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles. 1 Make sure that the machine is turned on, then load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray. 2 Open the Paper Output Tray, then open the Output Tray Extension. Set the Paper Thickness Lever to the left. For details on the Paper Thickness Lever, refer to “Inside” in “Main Components” of the User’s Guide on-screen manual.
Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern, and perform cleaning if necessary. Note The nozzle check pattern will not be printed correctly if there is not enough ink. Replace the FINE Cartridge if the remaining amount of ink is insufficient. See “Replacing a FINE Cartridge” on page 46. 1 Check the nozzle check pattern you printed. (1) (2) (1) Check if lines in this pattern are missing. (A) (B) (A) Good (B) Lines are missing (2) Check if there are white streaks in this pattern.
z If Lines Are Missing or White Streaks Are Present (1) Select Also B and press the OK button. The cleaning confirmation screen is displayed. (2) Select Yes and press the OK button to start Print Head Cleaning. See “Print Head Cleaning” on page 42.
Print Head Cleaning Clean the Print Head if lines are missing or if white streaks appear in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed in the ink absorber. Cleaning the Print Head consumes ink, so perform Print Head Cleaning only when necessary. 1 Make sure that the machine is turned on, then load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray.
Print Head Deep Cleaning If print quality does not improve by standard Print Head Cleaning, try Print Head Deep Cleaning, which is a more powerful process. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed in the ink absorber. Print Head Deep Cleaning consumes more ink than standard Print Head Cleaning, so perform this procedure only when necessary. 1 Make sure that the machine is turned on, then load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray.
Aligning the Print Head If ruled lines are printed misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position. 1 Make sure that the machine is turned on, then load two sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray. 2 Open the Paper Output Tray, then open the Output Tray Extension. Set the Paper Thickness Lever to the left. For details on the Paper Thickness Lever, refer to “Inside” in “Main Components” of the User’s Guide on-screen manual.
4 Adjust the print head position. (1) Check the printed patterns and use the [ or ] button to input the number of the pattern in column A that has the least noticeable streaks. Note If it is difficult to pick the best pattern, pick the setting that produces the least noticeable white streaks.
Replacing a FINE Cartridge This section explains the way to confirm the ink status and the procedure to replace FINE Cartridges. When ink runs out or other errors occur, an error message is displayed on the LCD to inform you of the error. See “An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD” on page 57 and confirm how to handle it. When printing from your computer, error messages appear on your computer screen as well.

Keeping the Best Printing Results To avoid drying of the Print Head and clogging of the nozzles, note the following. Note z Ink may blur depending on the paper in the following cases: – Printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or – Printed area is stained with water or sweat. z If the print head nozzles get clogged, printouts will become faint or particular colors will not be printed properly. For details, see “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 38.
Cleaning Your Machine This section describes the cleaning procedure that is needed to maintain your machine. Caution z Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning. Paper tissue powders or fine threads may remain inside the machine and cause problems such as a blocked Print Head and poor printing results. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller cleaning) Clean the paper feed roller if paper is not fed properly.
