Problems_you_may_encounter.svgPoor_Print_Quality.svg

Problem: Fading on print

The printer is producing very faded print/ a lack of print on the page

Resolution

  • If the print quality is poor or no ink is appearing on the paper, try performing 2-3 head cleans/nozzle cleans.
  • Leave 20 minutes between each clean.

 

Problem: Printing blank pages

The ink cartridge printed one or two pages and then stopped printing.

Resolution

  • It could be that the tape that covers the breathing hole has not been removed.
  • Be sure the breathing hole on the cartridge has been released, this is done by removing a small rip strip so that the cartridge has air supply.
