Description: White lines on letters or graphics.
Causes: If nozzles in print head has a problem, white lines are marked on the print. Self-Test printing will let you know if nozzles have fallen problems.
Remedy: 1) Run ‘print control panel’ to “clean cartridge” and check if nozzles have been blocked. 2) Wipe with soft cloth the contact surfaces of ink cartridge and carriage, and check if nozzles have been cleaned properly. 3) Separate ink cartridge from carriage and combine them. Repeat it about 5 to 6 times and check if connection is proper. 4) Replace ink cartridge and check whether there’s a problem with thehead. 5) Check if head cable is inserted well into the main circuit board and then check if nozzles have problems. 6) Check if head cable is broken or torn and then check if nozzles have problems. 7) Replace the main circuit board with a new one and check if nozzles have problems.
