Getting started

  1. Install the FINE cartridges and complete the model’s initial setup.
  2. Load the paper in the appropriate cassette or rear tray and register its size and media type.
  3. Follow the online setup path for your computer or phone, then confirm the print settings and selected paper source.

Cleaning and maintenance

Start print-quality troubleshooting with a nozzle check. If scans or copies have marks, use the scanner-cleaning section rather than a print-head cleaning cycle.

Common questions

Why does it pull paper from the wrong place?

Check the print job’s paper source and media type against the cassette and rear-tray instructions.

Is there a Windows guide?

Yes. Use the online manual button for Windows printing, driver, and maintenance instructions. The PDF button here is labeled as the macOS edition.

What should I check for streaks in copies?

Compare a copied page with an ordinary print and inspect the scanner glass if the defect appears only in copied or scanned output.
