How can I clean my A920 Dell printer?

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

Clean the Ink Cartridge Nozzles

• 1 Load printer paper into your Dell A920 Printer.
• 2 Open the Dell Printer Solution Center on the computer. Click "Start," located in the bottom left corner of your computer. Select "Programs" from the menu displayed. Click "Dell printers." Click "Dell AIO Printer A920" and then click "Dell Printer Solution Center" to open the Dell Printer Solution Center.
• 3 Click on the "Maintenance" tab and select the option that says, "Clean to fix horizontal streaks."
• 4 Click "Print." This will print a nozzle print page, which forces ink through all of the nozzles to clean and unclog them.
• 5 Print a regular document again to see if the print quality has improved. Repeat the cycle up to two more times to improve printing quality.

hi there,
try to access the dell all in one center. there's a link there that says maintenance. there's an option that says clean to fix horizontal streaks.
then try to print again.
if still same. try to remove the color ink. remove the power cable of the printer. using a clean cloth, wipe the contacts of the copper strip inside the color cartridge carrier where you put the color cartridge. also clean the copper strip of the color cartridge.
then try to print again.
if still same. try to uninstall/reinstall the printer driver.
if still same. 3 points of failure
1. cartridge problem again. most probably bad cartridge batch 2. printer driver issue. 3. printer itself.

Hi! Your problem is your printers INK CARTRIDGE alignment, make sure that your printer ink cartridge is properly aligned. Or try to clean your ink catridge. GOOD LUCK. THANKS

did u remove the peel off cover that protects the contacts or the print head on the new cartridge?

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, check/clean the encoder strip. This would be the long narrow plastic strip with barcode like markings. Ensure that it is clean, no smudges, ink marks or any paper debris that may obstruct a light sensor passing through it other than the barcode like markings.

Pls post back result(s). Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi there

You should check:

1. Did you insert correct the cartridge in the holder?
2. Check if the contacts are clean in the cartridge holder, maybe something is ther and the needle-type contacts from the printer does not push right on the cartridge contacts.

If you don't use the color on a fairly regular basis (once a day), the cartridge tends to dry out and plug up. You can try and wipe the cartridge outlets with a damp cloth or even use a little alcohol, and run the cleaning feature several times, but may well have to just replace the cartridge.
