If print quality deteriorates as described above, first clean the print head. Press and hold down the RESUME button until you hear two beeps then release it. Cleaning requires about 30 seconds.

After cleaning is completed, print the Nozzle Check Pattern to see if the print quality has been restored. (☞ 45) If horizontal lines are missing on the Nozzle Check Pattern, the print head may be still clogged.

Clean the print head unit once again.

•If a printed page or the Nozzle Check Pattern is almost blank after one or two cleanings, the ink cartridge has run out so replace it with a new one. (☞ 66)

•If print quality is not restored after replacing the ink cartridge, start flushing.

Replace the BJ Cartridge with a new one. (☞ 72)
