Check for empty print cartridges
If you are printing text and a blank page prints, the print cartridges might be empty. See Inserting the
print cartridges .
If the Toolbox is installed, check the ink levels of the print cartridges from the Estimated Ink Level tab.
You may be printing in Ink-backup Printing Mode. The printer enters Ink-backup Printing Mode when
one of the print cartridges is empty or removed. Replace the missing print cartridge with a new one.
The protective tape on the print cartridge nozzle has not been removed.
Verify the clear protective tape is removed from the print cartridge nozzle (see Inserting the print
cartridges ).
Check media settings
● Make sure you select the correct print quality settings in the printer driver for the media loaded in
the tray. For example, Maximum dpi is only available for photo paper and cannot be used with other
media types.
● Make sure the page settings in the printer driver matches the width of media loaded in the tray.
