|
|
1 | Printhead | Be sure the machine contains good print |
| Cartridge | cartridges. |
|
|
|
2 | Color Printhead | Cross contamination of color inks results in |
| Cartridge Cross | incorrect colors printed, as when green prints for |
| Contamination | yellow, (when yellow and blue are mixed in the |
|
| printhead cartridge). This problem resolves quickly |
|
| as the printhead cartridge is used. |
|
| If cross contamination occurs, check the following: |
|
| • The maintenance station wiper for damage. |
|
| • The printhead nozzle plate was resealed with |
|
| tape. |
|
|
|
3 | Printhead Carrier | Reseat the printhead cable in the system board |
| Assembly | and check the following parts for wear or damage: |
|
| • Printhead Cartridge Latch |
|
| • Latch Spring |
|
| • Carrier |
|
|
|
4 | System Board | Perform the “Test Page” on page |
| Printhead Carrier | break in the diagonal line of the nozzle test |
| Assembly | pattern. A broken line indicates one or more print |
|
| nozzles are not working. Run the test again to |
|
| verify the failure. |
|
| Check the |
|
| printhead carrier cable for dirt, wear, and damage. |
|
| Use only a clean dry cloth to clean the contacts. |
|
| If the symptom remains, replace the system board. |
|
| Go to the “System Board Removal” on |
|
| page |
|
|
|
5 | Maintenance | Intermittent nozzle failures can be caused by worn |
| Station | parts in the maintenance station. Go to the |
|
| “Maintenance Station Removal” on page |
|
| and then return to this check. |
