clogged.
Print the nozzle check pattern to check
for uneven ink output.
If the nozzle check pattern does
not print out properly
Check if any of the missing colors are
due to empty tanks.
If there is plenty of ink and the printer
does not print, clean the Print Head
and then print the nozzle check
pattern to check that ink is ejecting
properly.

Cleaning twice
Perform Print Head Deep Cleaning.
If the problem is not resolved after
performing Print Head Deep
Cleaning, turn off the printer and
perform Print Head Deep Cleaning
again after 24 hours or later.
If the problem is still not
resolved after performing Print
Head Deep Cleaning twice
The Print Head may be damaged.

Ink tank is empty. Open the Top Cover and check the ink
lamps.
If an ink lamp is flashing red slowly at
about 3-second intervals, ink is running
low. If an ink lamp is either flashing red
fast at about 1-second intervals or is not
lit, the tank is empty.
Replace the ink tank, and close the Top
Cover.
