Printer refuses to clean.

I bought all my inks, and they had all been full. Apparently, i could not find my user's guide which was why im in quite a fix here. Anyway, When i bought my new ink and placed it in. After closing the cover, I waited 4 minutes for its cleaning to end. They gave me an error message "Unable to clean See troubleshooting and routine maintenence chapter in User's Guide " Because i lost my manual, there is no way i could read it. I am desperate for help!

I earnestly thank you beyond words of appreciation.

However, It doesn't solve my problem. My problem is under chapter 12 of the manual "Unable to Clean" .They told me that i should clear any foreign objects(loose papers, small little objects etc) in my printer. I did not find such objects.

I am very troubled, this printer is very new. I do not wish to discard it just because it refuses to clean.

Thanks again.

The unit refuses to clean. I already removed jammed paper and looked for other materials that may have been jammed, but none. And still the unit refuses to clean. The inks are all original and are not yet empty.

Unable to clean see troubleshooting and routine maintenace chapter in user guide. Do not have user guide to hand.

Unable to clean means the ink absorber box is full. You will need a shop to replace the waste ink absorber box and then reset the waste counter in service mode.

Black Ink won't print

Try cleaning the printheads:

On the control panel press Setup>Select Tools>Select Clean Printhead

If that doesn't work, try manual cleaning the printhead contacts. This begins on page 147 of the User Guide.
