Chapter 13 Solution 2: Close the print carriage latch Solution: Lift the latch handle and carefully lower it to make sure that the latch securing the printhead is securely closed. Leaving the latch handle raised can result in incorrectly seated ink cartridges and problems printing. The latch must remain down in order to correctly install the ink cartridges. Cause: The print carriage latch was not closed properly. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 3: Clean the electrical contacts Solution: Clean the cartridge electrical contacts. To clean the electrical contacts 1. Make sure the product is turned on. 2. Open the cartridge access door by lifting the blue access handles on the side of the product, until the door locks into place. The print carriage moves to the center of the product. NOTE: Wait until the print carriage stops moving before proceeding. 3. Locate the ink cartridge that is indicated in the error message, and then press the tab on the ink cartridge to release it from the slot. 198 Solve a problem Solve a problem
