When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, the Print Head Nozzles are probably
clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean the nozzles.
Note
• If ruled lines are printed misaligned, adjust the Print Head position.
See"Aligning the Print Head" on page 57.
• If ink tank replacement does not resolve the problem, the Print Head may be
worn out. Contact the Customer Care Center.
