See "Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern" on page 38. When one specific color only does not print, see "Replacing Ink Tanks" on page 35. If the problem remains, make sure that ink remains in the ink tank, turn off the printer's power for at least 24 hours, and then perform deep cleaning of the print head again. If the problem still remains, the print head may be damaged. Contact your local Canon service representative. 40
