Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Run a quality test print from the maintenance menu. If specific color blocks are missing or show horizontal white lines, you have a physical clog. This confirms a print quality issue rather than a driver bug.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Check the test page for specific blocked colors.
  2. Access the maintenance menu and select 'Cleaning'.
  3. Repeat cleaning only twice; if failing, let the ink sit for 4 hours.
  4. Execute 'Print Head Alignment' to fix registration errors.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Printing a colorful page once a week keeps the ink flowing through the internal conduits. Keep the unit level and avoid shifting it to prevent air bubbles from migrating to the head.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If professional-grade cleaning cycles don't resolve the streakiness, the print head may be permanently damaged from dried ink and needs professional replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Streaks usually mean that print nozzles are clogged due to dried ink or air bubbles in the feed system.

Perform up to 3 cycles. If it still fails, let the printer rest for 4 hours to allow the ink to settle.

Genuine LC406 cartridges are best to prevent nozzle clogging and ensure proper flow.

Monthly maintenance is sufficient, unless the printer remains unused for long periods.
