Lexmark Z1300 InkJet Photo Printer • Uploaded on Feb 23, 2014
Try to re-seat the cartridges in the printer. Open the printer cover > remove the cartridges > close the printer cover > re-brick you printer by pulling out the power supply - black box behind the printer where the power cord is plugged in, and re-plug after 10 seconds. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and close the cover. Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.
If that doesn't help, the problem could be due to a clogged print cartridge nozzle. Please follow the steps below to fix print quality issues with your model:
From the Maintenance tab, select Clean to fix horizontal streaks. Your printer will then print a page forcing ink through to clean the print cartridge nozzles.
After printing the test page, try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.
Clean Cartridge Nozzles (Solution Center):
1. Open the Solution Center. Click Start >
Programs or All Programs > Lexmark 1300 Series. Select Solution Center.
2. From the Maintenance tab, click Clean to fix
horizontal streaks.
3. Click Print. A page prints, forcing ink
through the print cartridge nozzles to clean them.
4. Print a document again to verify that the
print quality has improved.
Sometimes the ink cartridge carrier
won't automatically move to its loading position even when the printer is on
and the cover is open. Follow the steps below:
1. Unplug the printer from the power
source.
2. With the cover open, hold the
solid white strip that connects from the carrier assembly to the ink cartridge
carrier and gently slide the cartridge carrier to the center of the printer.
3. Remove the used cartridge.
4. Load the new black cartridge. Close
the cover.
5. Plug the printer back to the
power source.
