Printer maintenance FAQ

Run the cleaning cycle from the printer's control panel: Setup → Maintenance → Head Cleaning. Then run a Nozzle Check to see if the pattern improved. Don't run more than 2-3 cleaning cycles consecutively — each one consumes significant ink and can overfill the waste ink pad. If cleaning doesn't help after 3 cycles, the printhead may need manual cleaning or replacement.

Regular printer maintenance: run a nozzle check monthly (or after any period of non-use), keep the printer powered on in sleep mode (this runs automatic maintenance), use the printer at least once a week to prevent nozzles from drying, and replace cartridges before they run completely dry — running empty damages the printhead.

Turn off the printer, open all access panels, and gently pull out any jammed paper in the direction of the paper path — don't pull backwards as this can damage rollers. Check for small torn pieces left behind. After clearing, close all panels and try a test print. Frequent jams usually mean the pickup rollers are worn or the paper guides aren't set correctly.
