It means you either need a new printhead, QY6-0061-000, or the purge assembly is worn out and not cleaning or priming the black properly. You can change the printhead but the purge assembly is a shop repair.

The resulting file sizes when scanning to PDF on an MP830 are very large - 500KB+ for one A4 sheet. How do I reduce the resolution to get the file size down to 100KB approx? Have tried adjusting settings on both the printer and in Presto PageManager/MP Navigator. I'm using the buttons on the printer to scan.
