cartridge. Repeat the nozzle test.

Wiping the Print Cartridge Nozzles and Contacts
If print quality does not improve after repeating the nozzle test, the problem
may be caused by dried ink on the print cartridge:
nozzles
contacts
carrier contacts in the printer
Follow this procedure:
1
Remove the print cartridge. See
Replacing the Print Cartridge
on page
8-17.
2
Use a clean, lint free cloth, dampened with water only, to gently clean
the entire copper colored area, including the nozzles and contacts. To
dissolve any dried ink, hold the damp cloth against the nozzles for about
three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry.
If you are cleaning a color print cartridge, be especially careful to wipe
the nozzles in only one direction so the colors do not mix.
