Printing is faint

Cause

Corrective Action

You may be printing on the wrong

side of the paper.

Print on the printing surface.

The Printhead nozzles are clogged.

Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.

(See "

→P.980

Because the printer was left with-

out ink tanks installed for some

time, ink has become clogged in

the ink supply system.

After the ink tanks have been installed for 24 hours, run

Head Cleaning B

from

the Control Panel.

(See "

Cleaning the Printhead

.")

→P.981

Paper is jammed inside the Top

Cover.

Follow the steps below to remove the jammed piece of paper inside the Top Cov-

Clearing a Jammed Sheet, Fed Manually

.")

The ink was not dry when paper

was cut.
