My product is printing blank pages. What should I do?

• Several factors may cause the product to print blank pages, such as print settings, low ink, or the product itself.

  Check the following:

  • Make sure the product is placed on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions. The product won't operate properly if it's tilted or at an angle.
  • Make sure you're using paper that meets the product's specifications.
  • Print a nozzle check pattern to see if any of the nozzles are clogged. Clean the print head, if necessary.
  • Make sure the paper size, orientation, and layout settings in your printer software are correct.
  • Make sure your document does not contain blank pages. If your printer software has a Preview option, you can check for blank pages before you print and remove them, if necessary.
  • If you're printing from Windows or a Mac, you can select Skip Blank Page in your printer software. To select the setting, follow the steps below for your operating system.
