Check the printhead initialization
When new printheads are installed, the printer automatically prints two alignment pages to align the
printheads. This process takes about eight minutes. Once the process starts you cannot print until
the automatic alignment pages have been printed.
When printheads are removed and then reinserted in the printer, the alignment pages do not print
automatically. See
.
Check the printer software installation
If the printer is turned off when printing, an alert message should appear on your computer screen;
otherwise, the printer software might not be installed correctly. To resolve this, uninstall the software
completely, and then reinstall the printer software. See
Uninstalling the printer software
