Action
Perform a Long Cleaning. Be sure the carriage sup-
ply lines are full of ink at the cartridge assembly con-
nection (smaller lines). If they are not, check the
carriage ink supply line for blockage. Follow the lines
to see whether they are filled or empty.
Be sure the purge assembly motor is operating nor-
mally. If it is not, replace it.
Be sure the carriage waste lines at the purge
assembly connector are full of ink. If they are not,
replace the carriage ink supply assembly (Asm.
10-1).
Be sure ink flows through the large purge waste
lines when the purge motor runs. If it does not,
replace the purge unit.
