Ink Does Not Come Out/Printing is Blurred/Colors are Wrong/White Streaks/Straight Lines are Misaligned/ Cannot Print to End of Job

Cause

Action

 

 

Ink tank is empty.

If the ink tank lamp is flashing, ink is empty. Replace the ink tank, and

 

close the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover).

 

If printing is not finished yet, just press [OK] on the machine to continue

 

printing in the “no ink” state.

 

Replace the ink tank with a new one as soon as possible after printing has

 

finished. The machine may be damaged if printing is continued under the

 

ink out condition.

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing, check how fast they flash. Fast

 

flashing (about one second) indicates the ink is empty. Slow flashing

 

(about three seconds) indicates ink is low. For details on different flashing

 

speeds, see “Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 108.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ink tank is not fully inserted.

When the ink tank lamp is unlit, press the

 

mark on the ink tank clicks

 

into place. The ink tank lamp lights red when the ink tank is fully inserted.

 

Make sure all of the orange tape is peeled off the ink tank as illustrated in

 

(A). If any orange parts are left like in (B), remove all of the orange parts.

Incorrect media type

When printing directly from a digital camera, on the Operation Panel,

 

confirm that the <Media type> selected matches the paper loaded.

 

When printing from a computer, check the following.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the [Main] tab of the printer driver, ensure that the [Media Type]

 

selected matches the paper loaded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the [Print] dialog box of the printer driver, select [Quality & Media] from

 

the pop-up menu, and then ensure that the [Media Type] selected matches

 

the paper loaded.
