Ink Tanks

- Use a new replacement ink tank and install it immediately after removing the old one.
Print Quality Maintenance
- Use the nozzle check pattern when ink is missing, colors are incorrect, or streaks appear.
- Clean the print head when the nozzle pattern shows missing lines or white streaks.
- Deep cleaning should only be performed when standard cleaning does not resolve the problem because it uses more ink.
Print Head Alignment

- Manual alignment is available if automatic alignment does not produce satisfactory results.
Network Troubleshooting
- Wi-Fi Connection Assistant can diagnose and repair network connection problems.
- Network settings can be checked or changed from the printer or computer.

Paper and Printing Problems
- If paper is not feeding, check the paper load, orientation, paper type, paper size, and tray position.
- Make sure paper is not too thick or curled.
- Clean the paper feed roller only when necessary because cleaning abrades the roller.
