Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look something like this: Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout looks okay, you're done. If there are gaps in the lines, clean the print head again; see page 25 for instructions. Replacing an Ink Cartridge When the red H ink out light is flashing, one of your ink cartridges is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new ink cartridge. When the H ink out light stays on, an ink cartridge is empty and you need to replace it. Caution: You cannot print if any of the ink cartridges are empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement; otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. If the ) paper out or P power light are also flashing or on, check the table on page 41. You may have a paper jam or another problem. When an ink cartridge has been installed in your printer for more than six months, you may need to replace it if you notice that your printouts don't look as good as they used to. If print quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the H ink out light isn't flashing. Maintaining Your Printer 27
