How long is a complete calibration supposed to take?i have replaced all the catridges in the printer lj3600n but its contineously calibrating for over 20 minutes now

1. Lift the printer access door, then remove the ink cartridges from the printhead.
2. Verify that the label on the ink cartridges is intact, and that the cartridges are not damaged.
3. Verify that the KODAK Ink Cartridges have not been refilled.
4. Insert the ink cartridges into the printhead, then press down firmly until you hear them click into position.
5. Close the printer access door.
6. Check the printer status monitor on your computer (or the LCD screen on the printer) to determine if there is sufficient ink available for your print job.
NOTE: Once the "Black ink cartridge is low" or "Color ink cartridge is low" message is displayed, print quality can be affected.

7. Reprint the picture or document that had the quality problem

If still same quality then...

3. Select Calibrate Printer.
4. Select Print Calibration Page
5. Press Start.

9. When the print is complete, press Cancel to end the calibration process.
10. Check the six color bars on the printed calibration sheet.

Are the color bars completely filled with solid color?

If again No...

then printhead needs replacement... call Technical Support to get it replaced

Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

Hello,

You could try resetting the printer as a first step.

Leave the printer switched on and disconnect the USB cable from the back.

Remove the catridges and wait for "insert catridges" to be displayed. **Don't insert them! **

When the display comes up, disconnect the power cord from the printer. Wait 60 seconds and then reconnect the power cord and press the "on" button if it doesn't automatically start.

Reinsert the catridges and calibrate if asked to do so. Once this is completed reinsert the USB cord and try to print again.

If this doesn't work you can do a partial reset back to factory conditions.

1. Unplug the power cord from the HP All-in-One.
2. Wait for 20 seconds.
3. Press and hold # and 3 while plugging in the power cord to the HP All-in-One.
4. Release the buttons after the HP All-in-One starts up.
5. The HP All-in-One will now be reset to factory defaults.

The HP website has help for your product series here (including downloads, manuals etc.)

Hope that helps!

You have to program the tearoff.
See the manual or use a windows driver to end the value to your printer

try to set the printer to the factory default setting

You Need to re-calibrate the printer. Check the Brother website for the calibration step.

Your pictures are coming out with a blue tint. Remove the color catridge and look at the bottom of it. the Yellow is probably green. If it isn't, trying performing a printhead cleaning through your home center. After that, calibrate the printer, you may see that on the calibration sheet, that colors are missing. Scan the calibration page and then try your printing your pictures. If that doesn't work, contact kodak tech support, you need a new printhead.

possible prpblems

1. your design need ribbon but your ribbon not installed
2. your label label gab type set but your design set continous type label

3.may be your calibration fail. You can calibration with one key.
