Maintaining Your Printer

Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. 
Each colored square should be solid, with no 
gaps or lines, as shown:

If your printout looks okay, you’re done. 

■

If you see any white lines or gaps (as shown), 
clean the print head again; see 

instructions. 

When the red 

 

b

 error light flashes, an ink cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time 

to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the red 

 

b

 error light stays on, you may 

need to replace one of the cartridges.

The red 

 

b error light also comes on if your 

paper runs out or is jammed, so make sure 
you check your paper before replacing a 
cartridge. 

To check your ink supply, do one of the 
following:

■

your screen). You’ll see a window like the one 
on the right showing the ink remaining in 
each cartridge:
