Ink cartridges do not fire properly
Be sure that cartridges and the service station are cleaned periodically to
maintain good print quality. (See "Cleaning Cartridges" in Chapter 4.)
Cartridges may wear out after extended use. Try replacing the cartridge.
Store cartridges in a sealed container at room temperature when not in
use for extended periods of time.
Make sure the protective tape is removed from the cartridges.
Remove the cartridge and reinstall it, or clean the electrical contact on
the cartridge and carrier. Be sure it is clean and dry. Be sure the cartridge
is seated properly. (See "Installing Ink Cartridges" and "Cleaning Car-
tridges" in Chapter 4.)
Check that ink is being fed through the delivery lines. If necessary, use
the NovaPrime to pull ink out of the nozzle plate to remove trapped air
bubbles.
Be sure the ink reservoirs are not empty.
