Caring for your printer

1. Align the ink cartridge after you’ve installed it. Use the software bundled with the printer for doing this.
2. Always store cartridges in their factory-supplied containers or in a small, zip-lock bag in a cool and dry place.
3. To avoid paper jams, clean the inside rollers with alcohol. Set you paper guides carefully when placing paper in the in-tray.
4. Never mix paper types in the same tray. Fan through the sheets to separate them before loading the paper tray.
5. Use the paper recommended by your printer manufacturer. Use good quality paper even for printing drafts as it prevents paper dust from clogging the printer.
6. Always use your printer’s power switch rather than switch on a surge protector to switch off your printer.
7. Over a period of time, the prints you get will become faint and there will be lines running across the page. To restore the original print quality, many inkjets come with a nozzle clearing function that blows ink through the nozzles to unclog them. Use this feature regularly, especially if the printer has been unused for weeks.
8. If you find a leak, don’t try to fix it your-self. Call the authorized service center.
9. For optimum and trouble-free perform, always use the original ink cartridges and do not get them refilled.
10. Air bubbles in the cartridge can cause your printer to shut down. Never shake your ink cartridge as that creates bubbles.
11. If you remove a part of your ink system such as the print head or ink reservoir, remember to replace it. Opening the system for even a few hours allows the ink to dry out and clog the print head.
