IMPORTANT! If you are having print quality problems, only follow the steps below if you have already attempted to solve the problem by printing a "Clean Print Nozzles" page from the software. On all recent Lexmark Photo Jetprinters printers, this option is available on the
Maintenance tab of the
Lexmark Solution Center. On some Lexmark AIO Photo Jetprinters, you can also find this option in the operator panel menu.
- Remove the print cartridges.
- Moisten a clean, lint-free cloth with water.
- Gently hold the cloth against the nozzles for about three seconds, and then wipe in the direction shown.
- Using another clean section of the cloth, gently hold the cloth against the contacts for about three seconds, and then wipe in the direction shown.
- Using another clean section of the cloth, gently hold the cloth against the contacts for about three seconds, and then wipe in the direction shown.
- With another clean section of the cloth, repeat steps 2 through 4 above.
- Allow the nozzles and contacts to dry completely.
- Reinsert the print cartridges.
- Print the document again.
- If the print quality does not improve, repeat the cleaning of the nozzles and contacts up to two more times.
Don't know if this helps, but fingers crossed.
