Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern
Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each staggered line should be solid,
with no gaps, as shown.
■ If your printout looks okay, you’re done.
■ If you see any gaps (as shown below), clean the print head again.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
■ When the red ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink.
■ When the red ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s).
You’ll also see a message on your screen when you print telling you which cartridge is
low or empty.
When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts
don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the
print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the red ink light is off.
