When your printer is printing blank pages instead of the expected content, there could be several possible causes. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
Check ink or toner levels: Ensure that your printer has sufficient ink or toner. Replace any empty or low cartridges with new ones.
Print head alignment: Run a print head alignment or nozzle check from your printer's control panel or software. This process ensures that the print heads are properly aligned and can improve print quality.
Clean the print heads: If the print heads are clogged or dirty, it can result in blank pages. Most printers have a built-in cleaning function that you can access through the control panel or printer software. Run the cleaning process to clear any clogs.
Check paper placement: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray or manual feed slot. Improperly placed paper can cause the printer to print on the wrong side or not print at all.
Print a test page: Print a test page to determine if the issue is specific to a certain document or application. If the test page prints fine, it suggests that the problem lies with the document or software settings.
