Action
Be sure the machine contains good print
cartridges.
Cross contamination of color inks results in
incorrect colors printed, as when green prints for
yellow, (when yellow and blue are mixed in the
print cartridge). This problem resolves quickly as
the print cartridge is used.
If cross contamination occurs, check the following:
• Maintenance station wiper for damage.
• Printhead nozzle plate was resealed with tape.
Reseat the printhead cables in the system board
and check the following parts for wear or damage:
• Print Cartridge Latch
• Latch Spring
• Carrier
