If you see
ink on the back of a printout or if printouts are smeared or
scuffed, you can clean the paper guide roller to remove any excess
ink.
Make sure there are no
errors on the LCD screen.
Load plain paper in the product in this size: Letter (8.5 × 11 inches
[216 × 279 mm]) or A4
(8.3 × 11.7 inches
[210 × 297 mm]).
Press the home button, if
necessary.
Select Maintenance. You see a screen like
this:
Scroll down and select
Paper Guide Cleaning.
Follow the on-screen
instructions to clean the paper guide.
Repeat these steps as
necessary until the paper comes out clean.
Note: If the
problem still cannot be cleared after cleaning the paper path,
there may be ink residue on the inside of the printer. Turn off the
product, open the scanner unit, and clean the area as shown using a
cotton swab.
Caution:
Do not touch the white flat cable,
translucent film, and ink tubes inside the product. You may damage
the product. Do not use tissue to clean inside the product; the
print head nozzles may get clogged.
