A blank or incorrect page prints

REMOVE THE STICKER AND TAPE FROM THE PRINT CARTRIDGES

Lift the scanner unit, and remove the print cartridges from the print cartridge carrier. Make sure the sticker and tape are removed from the print nozzles located on the bottom of the cartridges.

MAKE SURE THE CARTRIDGES ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED

With the front of the printer facing you, check for proper print cartridge installation. If you are using a color cartridge, make sure it is properly installed in the right carrier. If you are using a black or photo cartridge, make sure it is properly installed in the left carrier.

CHECK THE USB CONNECTION

1Check that the USB cable is connected to the computer. The USB port on the back of the computer is marked

by the USB symbol. Plug the long, flat end of the USB cable into this port.

2Make sure that the smaller, more square end of the USB cable is plugged into the back of the printer.

3Check that the USB cable is not damaged and that the light is on.

CLOSE OTHER OPEN FILES BEFORE PRINTING

Before sending a file to print, close all other open files in the program you are using. The printer prints a blank page when too many files are open in the same program.

DO PHOTOS OR TRANSPARENCIES DRY AND STICK TOGETHER ON THE PAPER EXIT TRAY?

Remove the photos or transparencies from the paper exit tray as they exit the printer. Allow them to dry before stacking. It takes longer for the ink to dry on the surface of photo paper or transparencies than it does on most printouts.
