Ink charging takes about two minutes, with the P power light

flashing and the printer making noise until it's finished. Don't

turn off the printer or interrupt charging or it will start over,

using more ink than necessary. It's finished when the P power

light stops flashing.

Testing the Printer

You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem

comes from the printer itself or some other source. Follow

these steps to run the printer check:

1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.

2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer.

4. Hold down the b maintenance button, then press and

b maintenance button until the Ppower light starts to

flash, then release it.

The printer prints one page showing its ROM version

number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. Only the

nozzle check pattern is shown below. (If the pattern has

gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see

page 10.)

5. To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the

check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on

your printer and computer.

If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your

software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.

If the check page doesn't print, you may have a problem with

your printer.

Try the suggestions in "Problems and Solutions" in the Printer

Basics book.
