Print a nozzle check pattern, and if the nozzles are clogged, execute printhead cleaning. If the clogged nozzles are not cleared by cleaning the printhead, replace the printhead. (See "Printheads" in "Maintenance and Consumables" in the "User's Guide") Is the printer in the calibration link state? Run CCMC and check the calibration group in the Printer list. If the calibration groups are not the same because the paper type settings are different, change the paper type settings in the printer control panel.
