Hi there,
If the bottom plate shows leaking ink
1) Cause : Inside of the machine is dirty, printed paper may be smudged.
Action :
a) Press[ON/OFF] to turn on the machine, then remove any paper from the Autosheet Feeder and Cassette.
b) Press the Open Button to open the Paper Output Tray, and open up amd set the extension by pressing down the hollow on the front side.
c) Place the only one sheet of A4/ Letter-size plain paper in landscape, horizontally fol it in half.
d) Unfold the paper, and load the paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder with the inverted-V edge down.
e) Use right /left arrows to select <BOTTOM CLEANING< from the <MAINTENACE> and press<OK>.
The paper that is loaded in the machine will feed through the machine and be ejected.
If protrusions inside the machine are stained, wipe off the protrusions using a swab or the like.
Important: Before cleaning, be sure to turn off the machine.

3) Cause :Inapproprite media type is used.
* Check to see if the paper you are printing on is too thick or curled.
* Note that smudging may occur at the top and bootm edges of the paper when using Borderless Printing. Ensure that the paper you are using is compatible with Borderless printing.
Refer to the Printer Driver Guide.

Hope this helps. PLease rate my response.

Belling dishwasher IDW604 error code E4 on control panel

I found the solution myself. Underneath the machine, there is a plate. On the plate, there is a float and a microswitch, when the water leaks onto the bottom plate it raises the float and activates the microswith which shuts down the machine and shows E4 on display. To get rid of the fault, you have to pull out the dishwasher, then tilt it, and drain the water from the bottom plate. Also make sure that there is no leak in the internal piping, if there is, the fault will come back as soon as the recess in the bottom panel fills with water.Hope it helps.

Top drawer works but bottom drawer shows code u3 and bottom drawer started leaking water before the u3 code showed up

U3 code generally relates to drain pump blocked. This could mean the water is not able to drain out. Leaking of water is not a good sign. Shows the vacuum seal is not working.

Clean the drawer door from inside and make sure the seal lining is sitting properly. Also the filter plate and the motor cavity needs cleaning. You will need to see the user guide on how to do this.

If you were using an original cartridge, contact HP and they will probably ask you to mail in the faulty cartridge.

If you were using a refilled cartridge you might have to buy a new printer.

Hi my epson r285 with ciss is leaving ink blotches all over my print outs, predominantly black, but less frequent with the other colours. This is only a new printer. Head cleaning, noxzzle cleaning and...

It might be caused by waste ink at bottom plate around head sprayer. For some CISS (bottle) design, ink will flow to head, and then flow to pad, when printer off. So, you must close respiratory hole at bottle when printer is not used. For cleaning, turn off printer (unplug power) when head is not in parking position. Move head to center. Put wet tissue (with cleaner or hot water) at top of pad (at head cleaning mechanics). Move head to parking position. So bottom plate contact with tissue. Wait for 10 minutes, repeat 3 times. Check nozzle.

Canon MP500 printer

We have the same problem. I removed the cartridges, then removed the print head. There was lots of ink gunk on the print head. I cleaned it and the problem disappeared completely for a few days but is now back. I suspect the print head needs to be replaced. Still working on it.
