2.Scroll to Clean Cartridge by pressing 4 _, and press OK.

If print quality does not improve, remove and reinstall the cartridge and repeat these steps.

Wipe the print cartridge contacts

If cleaning the print cartridge as discussed above does not help and you are certain the cartridge has plenty of ink, the problem may be caused by dried ink on the print cartridge contacts or the print cartridge carrier contacts. Follow these two sets of instructions for manual cleaning.
