Solution 3: Make sure the print carriage can move freely

Solution: Unplug the power cable if it is not already unplugged. Check to see if the
print cartridge carriage will move freely from one side of the printer to the other. Do
not try to force it to move if it is hung up on something.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to force the print cartridge carriage. If the carriage is

stuck, forcing it to move will damage the printer.

For more information, see:

“Carriage stall” on page 245

Cause: The print carriage had stalled.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
