Press Menu> until you see Change
Printhead.

4 Press Select.
5 Open the printer cover.
6 Raise the carrier handle up and back down

to reseat the printheads.

If you do not see any improvement, do a Short

some time to run.

If the problem persists, follow steps 1-5 above,
remove the printheads, and wipe the copper
contact area with a dam p, lint-free cloth.
