Your software is not properly
set up for your printer. Make sure that your printer is
properly selected in your software.
Install or re-install the printer driver
software as described in Chapter 2.
An ink cartridge may be too
old. Cartridges are too old if
they have been used longer
than six months or beyond
the date on their packaging. First try cleaning the print heads as
described in “Cleaning the Print
Heads“ on page 8-36. If print does not
appear after several cleaning tries, you
may need to replace a cartridge(s) as
described on page 8-44.
Nothing prints and the lights are on or flashing.
Cause What to do
Several common printer
errors have occurred at once. Use the table in “Error indicators” at
the beginning of this chapter to
determine what combination of errors
may have occurred, and apply the
recommended solutions.
The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing prints.
Cause What to do
The print head nozzles are
clogged. Clean the print heads as described in
“Cleaning the Print Heads” on page
8-36. If this does not work after several
trials, contact your dealer.
One or both of the ink
cartridges have been used
longer than six months or
beyond the date on the
packaging. Try cleaning the print heads. If that
does not solve the problem, replace ink
cartridges as needed. If none of the Ink
Out lights are on or flashing, see “Ink
Cartridge Problems” on page 8-44.
