5. Follow the instructions on the screen to print a test page

and select the correct alignment.

Aligning the Print Head Using the Control

Panel Buttons

If you cannot use the print head alignment utility program

that came with your printer, follow these steps to align the

print head.

1. Make sure that letter-size or A4-size paper is loaded in the

sheet feeder.

2. While holding down the

cleaning button

press the

power button

to turn on the printer. Then release both

buttons.

3. The

paper out light flashes for about three seconds. While

it is flashing, press the

load/eject button.

The printer prints a sheet of instructions in English, French,

German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese explaining how

to align the print heads. Follow these instructions.

If the

load/eject button isn’t pressed while the

paper

out light is flashing, the printer enters default-setting

mode. If this happens, turn off the printer and repeat

steps 2 and 3.

4. After aligning the print head, turn off the printer to exit

print head alignment mode.

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it

several times a year. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and

disconnect the printer cable.

2. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder.

3. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.

4. Clean ink out of the printer’s interior with a soft, damp

cloth.

Don’t touch the gears inside the printer.

Never use alcohol or thinner for cleaning; they can

damage the printer components and case.

Don’t use a hard or abrasive brush.

Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t

spray lubricants or oils inside the printer.

Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special

media; they may jam inside the printer.

Transporting the Printer

If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it

for transportation in its original box. Follow these steps:

To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges

installed when transporting the printer.

Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing

the printer in its new location.

1. Turn on the printer and wait until the print head locks in

the far right position. Then turn off the printer.

2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then

disconnect the network cable from the printer.

3. Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper

support.

4. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to

the printer with tape as shown, then close the printer cover.

5. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.

6. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box

using the protective materials that came with it. See the

unpacking sheet that was packed with your printer.

Be sure to keep the printer level as you transport it. If you

notice a decline in print quality after transporting the printer,

clean the print head (see page 10); if output is misaligned,

align the print head (see page 11).
