Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the printed image is faint, has many gaps, or nothing prints, either wait until the document finishes printing or press the Pause button and then the Load/Eject button to eject the page. Then clean one or both of the print heads. If three cleanings do not improve print quality, replace one or both ink cartridges.
If the colors you print are very different from what you expect, print a self test as described in Chapter 1. If one or more of the colors do not appear in the self test, replace one or both ink cartridges.
