When using paper with one printable surface, make sure that the paper is loaded in the Rear Tray with the printable side facing up or in the Cassette with the printable side facing down. Printing on the wrong side may cause unclear prints or prints with reduced quality.

See [ An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD ] to identify the ink error, and then take the appropriate action depending on the error condition.

Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern
Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern
Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles.
Print Head Cleaning
Clean the Print Head if lines are missing or if white streaks appear in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed in the ink absorber. Cleaning the Print Head consumes ink, so perform Print Head Cleaning only when necessary.

Print Head Deep Cleaning
If print quality does not improve by standard Print Head Cleaning, try Print Head Deep Cleaning, which is a more powerful process. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed in the ink absorber. Print Head Deep Cleaning consumes more ink than standard Print Head Cleaning, so perform this procedure only when necessary.
If you did not align the Print Head after installation, straight lines may be printed misaligned. Make sure to align the Print Head after you install it.
See [ Automatic Print Head Alignment ] and perform Automatic Print Head Alignment. If this does not solve the problem, see [ Manual Print Head Alignment ] and perform Manual Print Head Alignment.
