Safety Instructions

Important Safety Instructions
Read all of these instructions before using your printer. Also be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s cabinet.
Do not insert objects through the slots.
Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s
label.
Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources
of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the
total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
1
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
If you use the printer in Germany, observe the following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over­current protection for this printer, the building installation must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.
Bei Anschluß des Druckers an die Stromversorgung muß sichergestellt werden, daß die Gebäudeinstallation mit einem 16 A-Überstromschalter abgesichert ist.
A Few Precautions
When using the printer
2
Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink
cartridges during printing.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.
Always turn the printer off using the P power button. When
this button is pressed, the P power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the P power light stops flashing.
Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is in
the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are in place.
When handling the ink cartridges
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from
its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality.
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or
remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. The cartridge may become unusable otherwise.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the
cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This
could damage the print head.
When choosing a place for the printer
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that is larger than the
printer. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient
ventilation.
3
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be
easily unplugged.
Note for French-speaking users:
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.

Maintenance

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in the printed image 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 with the Nozzle Check utility in the printer software, or from the printer itself by using the printer’s control panel buttons.
Using the Nozzle Check utility
Note:
Do not use the Nozzle Check utility while printing is in progress; otherwise your printout may be marred.

The printer prints an operation check page including your printer’s ROM version information, the ink counter code, and a nozzle check pattern. Here are sample printouts.

segments are missing
The above sample is in black and white, but the actual test prints in color (CMYK).
If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily (for example, if any segment of the printed lines is missing) there is a problem with the printer. This could be a clogged ink nozzle or a misaligned print head. See the next section for details on cleaning the print head. For information on aligning the print head, see “ Aligning the Print Head” on page 42.
Cleaning the Print Head
If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve these problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
You can clean the print head from your computer with the Head Cleaning utility in the printer software, or from the printer itself by using the printer’s control panel buttons.
Note:
Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting
ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
Use the Nozzle Check utility to confirm that the print head needs to
be cleaned. This saves ink.
When the Bblack or Acolor ink out light is flashing or on, you
cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
Do not start the Head Cleaning or Nozzle Check utility while
printing is in progress; otherwise your printout may be marred.
Using the Head Cleaning utility

If print quality hasn’t improved after repeating this procedure four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight. Then do the head cleaning again.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced. To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see “ Replacing Ink Cartridges” in the online
