Troubleshooting E-7
Reference Guide
Run the jet status plot as described in the Quick Start Guide. If sections of the print are
missing, add the affected jets to the compensation list. Replace the cartridge if necessary.
Ink spills on the flex cable
Flex cable refers to the copper contacts on the carriage where the cartridge seats. Clean
the flex cable gently with a cotton swab moistened with water. Do not use acetone or
any other harsh cleaner as this may cause damage to the flex cable.
Printer settings are lost when printer is turned off or rebooted
Be sure to save your printer settings to a User number. (See "Saving User Settings" in
Chapter 2.) When you are ready to print, select the User number that you saved.

with other solutions. Refer to the following chapters for details:
