Cause and Solution
Replacing an Ink Tank
When ink runs out while printing is in progress, an error message appears on the LCD or your computer screen. Make sure which ink tank has run out of ink and replace it with a new one.
Make sure that all of the protective film is peeled off and the air hole is exposed, as illustrated in (A).
If the orange tape is left as in (B), pull the orange tape and remove it.
Check 4: Print the Nozzle Check Pattern and perform any necessary maintenance operations such as Print Head Cleaning.
Print the Nozzle Check Pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles. Refer to Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern , Cleaning the Print Head,Cleaning the Print Head Deeply.
- If the Nozzle Check Pattern is not printed correctly: Check to see if a particular color's ink tank is empty. If the Nozzle Check Pattern is not printed correctly though ink is sufficient, perform the Print Head Cleaning and try printing the Nozzle Check Pattern again.
- If the problem is not resolved after performing the Print Head Cleaning twice: Perform the Print Head Deep Cleaning. If the problem is not resolved after performing the Print Head Deep Cleaning, turn off the machine and perform another Print Head Deep Cleaning after 24 hours. When you turn the machine off, do not unplug it from the power supply.
- If the problem is not resolved after performing the Print Head Deep Cleaning twice: If Print Head Deep Cleaning does not resolve the problem, the Print Head may be damaged. Contact the service center.
