If streaks still appear on your printout, the print cartridge might be out of ink. Replace the print cartridge.

Using a cloth dampened with water, clean the nozzles and contact plates (metal parts of the cartridge). Reseat the print cartridge and repeat steps 4 and 5 above. Turn on the machine and print a self-test page to check the results.

If streaks still appear, have your copier serviced. Refer to the “Getting Help” section in this chapter.
