Solution 3: Check the Printhead Status

If you use your printer irregularly, then the possibilities of clogging ink on the printhead are great. To clear this obstacle, you need to do the automatic Nozzle test on repeat; say for 2-3 times at least. Doing this will clean any jammed ink and unclog the printhead outlet tube. Do the following:

Method 1: Nozzle Cleaning on Touchscreens Printers

• Tap to select the “Ink” button on the Printer’s display touchscreen.
• Choose the “Cleaning” option.
• Select the ink/color one by one for nozzle (attached to every ink) to clean. You better choose all nozzles.
• The printer will start doing its nozzle cleaning job. The screen will display the message when the cleaning is done.

Keep repeating the process until you start getting perfect prints.

Method 2: Nozzle Cleaning on Printers (Without Touchscreens)

• Press the “Ink” button or the “Menu” on your Printer.
• Choose for the “Cleaning” option, and hit “OK.”
• Select single or all nozzles to start the cleaning process.

The preceding steps are identical to the process mentioned above in the previous method.

Keep in mind to restart your printer every time you are done with trying any of these above-stated methods. The printer needs time to know about any new settings made; for that restart is a must.

You should also print a Test copy after every troubleshooting step; to verify if your printer is out of its problem or not. If you are getting prints i.e., text or images in proper format and color that means you have resolved the issue successfully.
