When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect

When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the print
head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean the nozzles.
If the ruled lines are shifted after running the print head maintenance, align the print head.
Important Before printing the nozzle check pattern or cleaning the print head, check the
following:
Open the cover and make sure whether the ink tank contains ink. If it is out
of ink, replace it. See "Replacing Ink Tanks" on page 67.
Ensure that all the orange tape of the ink tank has been peeled off.
Press "PUSH" on the ink tank and ensure that the ink tank is installed securely.
Ensure that each ink tank is installed at the correct location.
