Be sure that cartridges and the service station are cleaned periodically to maintain good

Cartridges may wear out after extended use. Try replacing the cartridge.
Store cartridges in a sealed container at room temperature when not in use for extended
periods of time.
Make sure the protective tape is removed from the cartridges.
Remove the cartridge and reinstall it, or clean the electrical contact on the cartridge and
carrier. Be sure it is clean and dry. Be sure the cartridge is seated properly. (See "Installing
Ink Cartridges" and "Cleaning Cartridges" in Chapter 5.)
Check that ink is being fed through the delivery lines. If necessary, use the NovaPrime to pull
ink out of the nozzle plate to remove trapped air bubbles.
Be sure the ink reservoirs are not empty.
Cartridges leaking
Check that reservoirs are not overfilled.
