| - | [* black] Dry the printhead nozzles and electrical contact on the printhead and replace the printhead in the printer. |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Replace the ink cartridges in the printhead. |
| - | [* black] If the printer requires a USB or Ethernet cable connection, plug the appropriate cable into the printer. ***Reinstall the printhead before applying power to the printer.*** |
| - | [* black] Connect the printer to electric power. |
| - | [* black] Turn on the printer, and let it clean the head if it decides to run this procedure. |
| - | [* black] Print a test page to determine whether the cleaning procedure worked. You may need to do a "first use" initialization, but following the bypass correctly should prevent this. |
| - | [* icon_reminder] If you still have trouble with the ink being clogged, try printing a print quality report to unclog the printhead further. If this fails, do the cleaning a second time. If the second cleaning fails, the printhead is probably bad. |
| + | [title] Reinstalling the printhead and ink |
| + | [* black] After the head dries out completely, put it back in the printer and lock it in. Once you do this, put the ink back in the printer. ***Do not plug the printer in until this step is done. Power before putting the head in will cause it to drop it's alignment.*** |
| + | [* black] Once you turn the printer back on, it will do a preparation process. You can't bypass this step. Once this is done, run a print quality test post cleaning. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] If you still have trouble printer, you probably need to replace the printhead. This part is around $80, so at this point you might as well buy a new printer. You can try more cleanings as a last resort at this point. |
