Troubleshooting Common Issues

Error Messages

  • Paper Jam: Open the paper output tray and check for any jammed paper. Gently remove the jammed paper and restart the print job.

  • Print Head Alignment Error: Print the Print Head Alignment page from the printer settings. Follow the instructions on the page to adjust the print head alignment.

Print Quality Issues

  • Streaks or Lines: Clean the print head by running the Print Head Cleaning utility from the printer software. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, replace the ink cartridges.
