Colors are not printing satisfactorily

Solution

One of the color ink cartridges may be empty, resulting in another color being substituted during printing.

No page came out of the printer or the paper jammed while printing

Solution

The printer may need attention. Read the printer screen for instructions.

The power may be off or there may be a loose connection. Make sure the power is on and the power cord is securely connected.

You may not have any paper in the Main tray or Photo tray. Check that the paper is loaded correctly. For paper-loading instructions, see Paper loading tips.

If the paper jammed while printing, try the following:

Turn off the printer, then unplug it from the power source. Clear the printer of any paper obstructing the paper path. Remove the rear access door. Gently remove the jammed paper from the printer, then replace the rear access door. If all jammed paper cannot be removed from the rear area of the printer, try removing paper jammed in the middle of the printer by opening the paper jam door located inside the top cover. For illustrations of the two places to clear a paper jam, see Paper errors. When you are finished clearing the paper jam, plug the printer back in, turn it on, and try printing again.

If you were printing labels, make sure a label did not become unglued from the label sheet while going through the printer.
