Solving Problems

Running a Printer Check

You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the
printer or some other source.

Before you run a printer check, make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the
printer, and make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. See page 8
for details.

1. Make sure no lights are indicating errors. See page 55 for more information.

One of the cartridges is expended or not installed. Make
sure you have a replacement cartridge, then follow the
steps in “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” on page 44 to install
it.

If you have just installed a new cartridge, it may be
incompatible with the printer or incorrectly installed.
Reinstall it or replace it with the correct cartridge, as
described on page 44.
