  1. Check1 Is nozzle check pattern printed properly?

    Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles.

    For details on printing the nozzle check pattern, print head cleaning, and print head deep cleaning, see If Printing Is Faint or Uneven.

    • If nozzle check pattern is not printed correctly:

      After performing the print head cleaning, print the nozzle check pattern and examine the pattern.

    • If problem is not resolved after performing print head cleaning twice:

      Perform print head deep cleaning.

      If the problem is not resolved after performing print head deep cleaning, turn off the printer and perform print head deep cleaning again 24 hours later. When you turn the printer off, do not unplug it from the power supply.

    • If problem is not resolved after performing print head deep cleaning twice:

      Ink may have run out. Replace the FINE cartridge.

  2. Check2 Make sure of the estimated ink levels in the FINE cartridges.

    When a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, replace empty FINE cartridges with new ones.

  3. Check3 Is FINE cartridge installed properly?

    If you do not close the ink cartridge locking cover correctly, ink may not be ejected correctly.

    Open the scanning unit / cover to open the ink cartridge locking cover, and then close it.

    Press down the ink cartridge locking cover until it clicks into place.
