Poor print quality If you are experiencing poor print quality, check the
following:
• Check to be sure the print cartridges are not empty.
If you are using a black print cartridge, check the
Full/Empty indicator to see how much ink remains in the
cartridge. If it is empty, insert a new print cartridge.
If you are using a red print cartridge, weigh the print
cartridge to be sure it has an adequate ink supply; a full
print cartridge weighs approximately 110 grams; an
empty print cartridge weighs approximately 70 grams.
• Use F56 to verify that all jets are functioning properly.
• Clean the wipers and gaskets. See the procedures in
the section entitled, “Maintenance”.
When finished:
• Press F48 (Auto Purge).
• Press F45 (Test Pattern).
