4Check the Self-Test Report for streaking or white lines in the color bars. Make sure that the color bars have even consistency and the lines of color extend across the page.

–If any color bars are missing, this might indicate that particular print cartridge is out of ink. You might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information on replacing print cartridges, see replace the print cartridges on page 67.

–Streaks might indicate clogged nozzles or dirty contacts. You might need to clean the print cartridges or the print cartridge contacts.
