Just changed the cartridge and it only prints part of the page.

Your ink cartridge is low, empty or possibly clogged

First step is to see will if it print a test page

Go to Start, settings, printers. Right click on the printer, properties, print test page.

If that doesn't work there should be a head cleaning option in properties that will make it clean the print heads.

If there is still nothing after that then either it's badly clogged, low or out of ink, and needs to be replaced

This may help

Turn on the hot water until warm
Put about 1/2 inches of water in a cup
Put the print head portion (where the ink comes out) in for about a minute or two
This will help to dissolve the clogged print head
Dry off the cartridge using a soft tissue.
Re-insert the cartridge into the printer.
Run the normal cleaning software routine a few times

Still having Problem Then follow Us For
Brother Printer Support

cartridge inserted poriton ( fuser unit bottom portion ) you can see a small "L" shadped liver fixed with a screw, removed that from there and try with new cartridge.

this symptom signals blocked printhead, you need to do bit of cleaning, not necessarily cahnge the cartridge.

follow this procedure:
1. download test page with alternative from this site black:
http://www.inkjetcartridges.com/_black-print-test.html

and colour:
http://www.inkjetcartridges.com/_color-print-test.html

2. print page each and assess the colour and streaks. if on the beginnig of the page you do have errors and on the bottom all is corrected, this meant that you just cleaned your printhead nozzles and problem is solved.
3, if problem persist, from stationery store purchase few pages of absorbent paper, weight of about 120 to 160, do not use thicker than 160 and print these colour pages again,
4. print control page again and see if any improvement was made, if there were no changes, follow this procedure:

a. remove cartridges from craddle
b. determine what is ink solvent, water, isopropyl alcohol or methylated alcohol - correct solvent will be that which do not precipitate or curdle the ink
c. touch with absorbent tissuebottom of the cartridge and check if it is leaving even print, if not, whipe once with solvent
d. put a drop of solvent on gold/silver buttons inside of the craddle, allow to sink for about a minute, whipe off with absorbent tissue
e. put again a drop of solvent on the button in the craddle and insert ink cartridge
f. print test page, page will be very weak on the top (solvent print first!) and improve as it prints down, if necessary, print again colour or black test page from 1.

this should solve your streaking head problems, if they still persist, this meant that print heads are really well blocked by caked ink and usually is cheaper to change printer than change the head in it...

Hi!

This link guides you on how to replace the cartridge:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00004340&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=79477

Replacing the print cartridges

1. Turn on the power.
2. Lift the print carriage access door on the front of the unit, just above the output tray. The print carriage will move into the middle of the access area. Figure 1: Raising the front access door
3. Release the cartridge to be replaced by pressing down lightly on the top of the carriage latch and then pulling the lower section of the latch forward. Lift the latch.
4. Grasp the sides of the ink cartridge and pull the cartridge out to remove it. Figure 2: Removing the cartridge
5. Remove the replacement cartridge from its packaging. Touching only the black plastic, remove any tape covering the nozzles. Do not touch the gold-colored contacts. Figure 3: Removing the protective tape
6. Holding the cartridge with the printed label up, slide the cartridges, one at a time, into the print carriage as shown below. Insert the black print cartridge (HP 56) into the right side (with the gray latch) and the tri-color print cartridge (HP 57) into the left side (with the blue latch). To install the optional photo cartridge (HP 58) for six-ink photo printing, remove the black print cartridge (HP 56) and insert the photo cartridge (HP 58) instead. Figure 4: Inserting the cartridge
7. Latch the cartridge by pulling the lower section of the latch forward and pressing the latch down. When the latch is down, release the lower portion of the latch so that it catches under the tabs. Do not use force or damage might occur. Figure 5: Latching the ink cartridges in place
8. Close the print cartridge access door. Figure 6: Closing the access door
9. A message will appear in the front panel display requesting that the ink cartridges be aligned. Press Enter to start the cartridge alignment. Two pages will print. Following the instructions printed on the second page, place the first page on the scanner glass in the lower-right corner and then press Enter to finish aligning the cartridges. Remove the page from the scanner glass when complete.

Dear Sir,

Welcome back to Fixya

After changing ink cartridge,did you let the unit do an alignment? If not, you need to allow the unit to finish the alignment.If couldn't print another "alignment page" since the print queue was frozen in "pending" status ,so open the printer and remove and re-insert the ink cartridges.

Then place that "alignment page" on to the scanning bed and press the printer's scan button. The scanner startup again and 60 seconds later, then it start printing the documents remaining in the printer queue.

I think it deffinately solves your problem.If you have any problem regarding this issue leave a feedback we were happy to assist you.


Have a Nice Day!

The corona wire is not charging the drum properly. Try pulling the toner cartridge out and then re-seating it. If this doesn't work, try a new toner cartridge as the corona wire is usually included in the cartridge.

If you are using a refill toner, there's an outside chance that the supplier put toner with the wrong electric charge in the cartridge. Again, changing the cartridge should fix this(assuming the replacement is from another batch).

your carteidge OPC duram is faulty .
so change cartedige

when you insert the new cartages then when the align page will print put it in the scanner and scan it once the align page will be scanning it will not print the align page up to you not change the cartrage

Check that the cartridges are seated correctly. Also clean the contacts in the casing that the copper portion of the cartridge sits against.

Did you try cleaning the print cartridge nozzles.

Press Function once and up arrow 2 times
Press the right arrow once and the up arrow once
Press the right arrow once
Press Start/Memory button
It will print a test parttern page

Once you insert the new cartridge did the machine recognize the new cartridge? You had to press 1 for new

When 1 is selected you will get a prompt New Cart: OK?
OK press start.

If you selected NEW the display will show the alternating messages at right. Align Cartridge----1 Print 2 Set

Press 1 to print an alignment page

Hopefully, it will printed. Let me know one way or the other.
