Re: Missing nozzles with CFS

2002-10-19 by Antonis Ricos

Kevin,

look up theFAQ pages at InkjetMall for very useful tips. 

The vacuum may have been compromised _if_  you moved the CIS head, 
otherwise the most likely thing is the head needs a good cleaning, including 
from underneath (wet lintless towel soaked in Windex or Fantastic, raise the 
lever to +, release and roll the head over, lower lever, run back and forth 
manually, change towel, repeat as needed).

You may also be "passing" a bubble. A few clening cycles and let it sit 
overnight might help.

Good luck.



Antonis
