Maintaining your printer
Compare the diagonal lines above the printed bars to the
4
diagonal lines below the printed bars. Look for a break in
the diagonal lines. A broken line indicates clogged nozzles.
If the bottom line still has breaks, run the test two more times.
• If the print quality is satisfactory, the print nozzles are clean. You
do not need to complete the remaining steps.
• If the print quality of both sets of lines is not satisfactory, continue
with the next step.
Remove and reinstall the print cartridge.
5
Repeat the nozzle test.

If the lines are still broken, see the next section,
7
nozzles and contacts.
Wiping print nozzles and contacts
If print quality does not improve after cleaning the print nozzles (see
page 37), there may be dried ink on the print cartridge nozzles or
contacts.
Remove the print cartridges from the printer. For help, see

page 29.
