How To Fix A kodak printer Not Printing Properly AS such there are many methods to resolve the issue but here we have mentioned the major four methods to resolve the issue. Let’s have a look at them, Method 1 : Check Printer’s Calibration If your printer is not printing black that could be due to incorrect caliberation in your printer. Keep checking on the setting everytime you replace or refill any cartidge. Even if you have just finished calibrating, always verify it is so you won’t have this issue in the first place. To avoid the extra work, there is a feature inside your printer you might not know about. The feature “Self Diagnostic” helps you in identifying all types of internal errors. Run this feature you install the new catridge. This test detects all the error for you and makes it easy for you to resolve them. And along with “Self Detection” you have to run printer’s catridge alignment feature to avoid this issue. Method 2 : Clean The Dirty Catridge If the printer is being used quite often, their is a risk of catridges getting dirty and stop printing black ink. In that case you have to take out the catridge and clean it gently with alcohol dipped cotton swab. Do the same with printer’s drum as well. Once its thoroughly cleaned, put the catridge back in. This process will help clear out the stuck ink particles that get in the way of printing black ink. The printer will be able to extract the black ink from its catridge and print the documents. Method 3 : Observe And Eliminate Catridge Tape There is a plastic cover on every newly bought ink catridge. That is wrapped around to protect the ink catridge from leakage. Most user ignore that plastic tape, and just unwrap the catridge and place it in the printer. This leads to issues in printing black. The protective tape is very small and hard to detect due to which most people don’t remove it beforehand. Always look for it and remove it and remove it before installing the catridge. In case you have already installed the catridge, it is adviced to take it out and verify if the plastic tape is removed if the printer is facing any issues. Method 4 : Update Drivers Outdated printer drivers could also stand in the way of smooth printing. If no other method is working, then try updating the drivers and that will most probably resolve the issue, To update the drivers, there are three different methods to do so, 1. Downlad the latest drivers from the website of kodak and install them one by one. 2. Update drivers through the computer’s control panel. 3. Update the OS and new drivers will be automatically installed. Installing through control panel is a little had but mostly used and recommended method. Downloading from the website is also fine but time taking. And it is rare to see someone updating the complete OS only to update he printer’s driver. After you update the driver’s successfully, reboot your system and the printer and try taking out. That’s all in this blog. Do share you opinion in the comment section if it helped you.
