Lines do not print straight

Is the BJ cartridge	Remove the BJ cartridge and reinstall it (see
correctly installed?	page 2-14).

The cartridge does not move into the replacement position

Is the power on?

Is the BJ cartridge access cover open?

Is the RESUME/CLEAN light flashing?

Has the printer been printing for an extended period of time?

Confirm that the printer’s POWER light is green.

If the power is not on, refer to “Power does not go on” (see page 5-1).

If you leave the BJ cartridge access cover open, the cartridge holder moves to the right (home position) to prevent the print head from drying out. Close the cover, then open it again; the cartridge holder will move into the replacement position.

Open the BJ cartridge access cover and check for a paper jam. Remove any jammed paper.

If you print for extended periods of time, the BJ cartridge overheats and the RESUME/CLEAN light flashes. If this happens, stop printing and wait until the BJ cartridge has cooled. When the BJ cartridge is cool, the light stops flashing.
