Blank or partial page printed

Clean the printhead

Complete the printhead cleaning procedure. The printhead may need to be cleaned if the printer was turned off incorrectly.

NOTE: Incorrectly turning off the printer can cause print quality problems like blank or partial pages. Printhead cleaning can solve these problems, but turning off the printer correctly can prevent them in the first place. Always turn the printer off

by pressing the (Power) button on the printer. Wait until the (Power) button light goes out before unplugging the power cord or turning off a power strip.
