Other troubleshooting procedures -

Check ink cartridge -

• If the ink cartridges are low or empty then immediately replace them.
• Verify that ink cartridges are properly installed in the appropriate slot.
• Also, confirm that you have removed the tape over the vent, in case you have installed new ink cartridges.
• If the vent of cartridges is clogged then take a pin to clean up the clog on the vent.

Check your printhead -

Verify that printheads are not clogged. Although the various printer has an automatic printhead cleaning feature, you can use this one if you are unable to remove printhead manually. If due to any reason, the automatic printhead cleaning feature is not working then try it again.
