Make sure the ink has dried before reloading the paper to print on the other side.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.

• Clean the paper path.
Note: Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that
extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.
