Chapter 10 Maintenance 107
Cleaning the print head
If the printed nozzle check pattern is broken, missing, or a specific colour is not printed, clean the
print head.
NOTE
• Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often reduces the amount of ink in
the ink tanks.
• Your machine performs print head cleaning every time you plug in the power cord. The machine also
performs the cleaning periodically when it is ON.
• You can also clean the print head from your computer. (See Software Guide.)

necessary.
–<CLEANING>: Performs normal print head cleaning.
–<HEAD REFRESHING>: Performs deep print head cleaning.
5 Press [OK/Set].
IMPORTANT
• If normal print head cleaning does not result in improvement, perform deep print head
cleaning.
