Solution 1: Print on a page of plain paper Solution: Print one or several pages of plain paper to soak up any excess ink in the printer. To remove excess ink using plain paper 1. Load several sheets of plain paper in the input tray. 2. Wait five minutes. 3. Print a document with little or no text. 4. Check the back of the paper for ink. If there is still ink on the back of the paper, try printing on another page of plain paper. Cause: Ink accumulated inside the printer, where the back of the paper rests during printing. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 2: Wait while the ink dries Solution: Wait at least thirty minutes for the ink inside the printer to dry, then try the print job again. Cause: The excess ink in the printer needed to dry out. Poor black text Try the following solutions if the text in your printouts is not sharp and the edges are rough. • Solution 1: Wait before you attempt to reprint • Solution 2: Use TrueType or OpenType fonts • Solution 3: Align the printhead • Solution 4: Clean the printhead Solution 1: Wait before you attempt to reprint Solution: If the black cartridge is new, allow time for automatic servicing to clear up the problem. Black print quality should start to improve in a few hours. If you do not have time to wait, you can clean the printhead, but this uses more ink, and the poor black text may reoccur until automatic servicing is allowed to complete. Cause: Many black print quality problems clear up when the automatic services are performed. Print quality troubleshooting 109
