Printer Does Not Start/Ink Does Not Come Out/Printing is Blurred/
Colors are Wrong/White Streaks
Possible Cause
I
Try This
Ink tank is empty
Ink tank is not installed in the
correct position
Incorrect media type
Print head nozzles clogged or
shifted
Paper loaded wrong side up
Ink tank is not fully inserted
If the ink tank lamp is flashing, ink is empty. Replace the ink tank and close the
cover. If printing is not finished yet, just press the
OK
button on the printer to
continue printing in the "no ink" state. Replace the ink tank as soon as possible
after printing finishes.
Continuing to print in the "no ink" state may cause damage to the printer. See
"Replacing an Ink Tank" on page 48.
WNote
If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing red, check how fast they flash. Fast flashing
(about at one second interval) indicates the ink is empty. Slow flashing (about at
three second intervals) indicates ink is low.
For details on different flashing speeds, see "Getting the Ink Level Information" on
page 48.
If an ink tank lamp is flashing even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is
inserted in the wrong position. Make sure that the correct ink tank color is inserted
in each position.
See "Replacing an Ink Tank" on page 48.
On the operation panel, confirm that the media type selected matches the paper
loaded.
Print the nozzle check pattern to check for uneven ink output.
When a specific color is missing from the nozzle check pattern, clean the print
head.
• If ink supply is uneven: See "Print Head Cleaning" on page 54.
• If straight lines are shifted: See "Aligning Print Head - Auto head align" on
page 56.
Check the print side of the printer.
WNote
Follow the instructions packaged with your specialty media for loading and
handling.
Open the cover, paper output tray and inner cover, and then press on the
8
mark
on the ink tank whose lamp is off until the ink tank clicks into place. Once the ink
tank is installed properly its lamp will light red.
Ensure that all the orange tape has been peeled off as shown in (1). If there
remains a part of the orange tape as shown in (2), remove it thoroughly.
(1) Correct
An L shaped
notch appears on
the ink tank.
(2) Incorrect
There remains the
orange tape. Peel
off the tape
completely along
the perforation.
