If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the solutions beginning on page 131. You can also turn the Stylus Photo RX600 off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again.

Caution:

When you don’t turn on your Stylus Photo RX600 for a long time, the print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

■When the red ! light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink.

■When the red ! light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s).

When you print, you’ll see a message on your LCD screen telling you which cartridge is low or empty.

When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the red ! light is off.

Checking the Ink Supply

To check your ink supply, do the following:

1.Press the Setup button to enter setup mode.

2.Press the u and d buttons to select Ink Levels, then press the OK button.

You see a graphic with the amount of ink available in each cartridge: B (Black) C (Cyan), LC (Light Cyan), M (Magenta), LM (Light Magenta), and

Y (Yellow).

3.When you’re done checking the ink levels, press the OK button.

When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You can’t print if a cartridge is empty.
