The printer begins charging the ink delivery system and the
message "Charging Ink. Please Wait" appears on the LCD
screen.
After about one minute, the message "Ink cartridge
replacement is complete" appears on the LCD screen.
Caution: Do not turn off the printer during ink charging as this will
waste ink.
Do not insert the CD/DVD tray during ink charging.
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice
light or dark bands across your printout, you may need to
clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can
deliver ink properly.
You can clean the print head using the buttons on your printer
or using the Head Cleaning utility on your computer. You can
also run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning.
Note: Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean the print head only
when print quality declines (for example, if you see lines in your
printout or colors are incorrect or missing).
Before you clean the print head, check the print head nozzles first
to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned, as described
below.
If error messages indicating low or expended ink appear on the
LCD screen, you cannot clean the print head. Replace the
appropriate ink cartridge first.
Caution: If you don't use your printer often it is a good idea to print
a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
Before you check the print head nozzles or clean the print
head, make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the
printer, and make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower)
position.
Checking the Print Head Nozzles
