Print cartridge troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems with printing, you might have a problem with one of the print
cartridges.
To troubleshoot print cartridges
1. Remove the black print cartridge from the slot on the right. Do not touch the ink nozzles or
the copper-colored contacts. Check for possible damage to the copper-colored contacts or
ink nozzles.
Make sure the plastic tape has been removed. If it is still covering the ink nozzles, gently
remove the plastic tape by using the pink pull tab.
2. Reinsert the print cartridge by sliding it forward into the slot. Then push the print cartridge
forward until it clicks into the socket.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the tri-color print cartridge on the left side.
4. If the problem persists, print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print
cartridges.
This report provides useful information about your print cartridges, including status
information.
5. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges.
6. If the problem persists, clean the copper-colored contacts of the print cartridges.
7. If you are still experiencing problems with printing, determine which print cartridge is
experiencing the problem and replace it.
For more information, see the onscreen Help.
