Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able to identify the problem by checking the print head nozzles.
You can check the print head nozzles from your computer by using the Nozzle Check utility or from the printer by using the buttons.
Before checking the print head nozzles, make sure the front tray is in the paper position (lower position). If it is not, move the tray lever up and reposition the front tray.
Caution:|
Do not touch the front tray when operating the tray lever.
Do not move the tray lever while the printer is operating.
|
Note:|
Before you move the tray lever, make sure no paper or other objects are on the front tray and the front tray is not extended.
