Light stripes on prints
If prints have narrow, lengthwise stripes that are faded or the wrong color, or prints 
have missing colors, run the automatic printhead-cleaning sequence from the 
printer’s front panel.

A series of front panel messages indicate the condition of the printer as it 
progresses through a sequence of automatic cleaning routines.  The printer 
outputs a Cleaning Page (see page 60) at the end of the cleaning sequence 
that you may discard as normal office waste.

To confirm that the problem has been corrected, print a Test Page from the 
Troubleshooting
 menu.  Check for any missing color bars on the Test 
Page.  The following illustration shows a correct Test Page with black (

), 
cyan (

), magenta (

), and yellow (

).  Also shown is an example of a Test 
Page with a missing color bar in the magenta.
