Printing is faint
Cause Corrective Action
You may be printing on the wrong
side of the paper.
Print on the printing surface.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged. Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if they are clogged.
(See "Checking for Nozzle Clogging.") →P.980
Because the printer was left with-
out ink tanks installed for some
time, ink has become clogged in
the ink supply system.
After the ink tanks have been installed for 24 hours, run Head Cleaning B from
the Control Panel.
(See "Cleaning the Printhead.") →P.981
Paper is jammed inside the Top
Cover.
Follow the steps below to remove the jammed piece of paper inside the Top Cov-

The ink was not dry when paper
was cut.
