How to fix the Nozzle Defects
NOTE The Printer will automatically request you to recover Printheads
with a number of defective nozzles that may affect print quality,
or replace them if the Printhead defect cannot be recovered.
NOTE If your Printer has nozzle defects, it does not mean that you will
not get perfect print quality results.
1 Go to the Printheads submenu and press Enter.
2 Go to Recover Printheads.
3 Select the Printhead color that is responsible for the problem. The
Printer will try to ‘Recover’ the defective Printhead. Please wait as
the process of recovery takes a few minutes.
4 Reprint the Diagnostic Print to check that the defective nozzles have
been corrected.
If the error is still present, replace the worst Printheads.
If your Printer displays a (xxxx)REPLACE or (XXXX)RECOVER
message for a Printhead that has recently been changed or recovered
successfully:
1 Perform Service Station Calibration to verify the correct functioning
of the Drop Detector ⇒ Page 5-11.
