  • SP 540i – Cleans During Print Jobs every 5minutes. Help?

    Posted by Ernest Seyram on 20 January 2015 at 15:56

    Hello Everyone,
    Please help me asap on this problem.
    My printer sp540i stops and clean during printing almost every 5mins.
    All this started when i changed my cyan in about 3days ago. I have checked periodic cleaning in sub menu and the settings is NONE, so I don’t understand this so please help me.
    This is really wasting ink and time when printing. Thank you so much in advance for your ideas.

    Happy New Year to all.

    Hi,

    Are you using original inks?
    This usually happens with 3rd party inks, the only reason I ask…

    You could take the black cartridge out, clean the chip with a bit of cloth and replace. Repeat with the cyan.
    This has solved similar issues in the past.

    Let me know how you get on,

    Simon
