I am told that you should leave the printer in standby mode (do NOT turn it off completely). If you turn it off/on all the time, it will clean the inkjets every time and waste a lot of ink. The ink gets dumped into a bin at the bottom of the printer and once that bin fills up the printer needs expensive and messy maintenance, so you don't want to clean the print heads too much. If you leave it turned off for long periods, the inkjets will not get cleaned at all and they will dry out and jam. Therefore, I hope you are leaving it in power standby mode, it apparently does not consume much power in this mode, and will clean the jets at just the right frequency!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Inkjet printers are notorious for this. It usually happens because of extended periods of non use. To resolve this issue, try printing at least 1 or 2 prints a week or if you do not have anything to print, remove the cartridges from the printer when not in use for an extended period and store them away in a cool place.
