2Clean the Carriage and Printhead flex circuits using the Carriage Interconnect Wiper ⇒ Page
3If after reseating and cleaning the printhead, the failed message disappears but then reappears later, replace the printhead.
NOTE | If all 4 Printheads have the Status "Failed", it is possible that the |
| Carriage Assembly is faulty. |
