Hi nyakia,

 

First, please make sure that the ink tanks are installed in the printer correctly and are in the correct order. The order from left to right is as follows:

 

CLI-251 M
CLI-251 Bk
CLI-251 Y
PGI-250 PGBk
CLI-251 C

 

\Next, a test of your PIXMA MG5620 should be performed. This will tell us if the printer is working correctly. To do this, please load letter-sized paper in the PIXMA MG5620 and follow these steps:

 

1. Select SETUP from the HOME screen.

 

2. Rotate the menu to Maintenance and press <OK>.

 

3. Press <OK> on Print nozzle check pattern.

 

4. Press <OK> on Yes.

 

The Nozzle Check will print. Please compare your printout to the example that has been attached to the bottom of this post. If they differ, please perform a few printhead cleanings.

 

To perform cleanings, please follow these steps:

 

1. Select SETUP from the HOME screen.

 

2. Rotate the menu to Maintenance and press <OK>.

 

3. Press <OK> on Cleaning.

 

4. Press <OK> on Yes.

 

5. Press <OK> on Yes.

 

After a few cleanings, please print another Nozzle Check.

 

Does the Nozzle Check print correctly?  if not, please contact our support group using the following link:
