Cleaning the Printhead from the Printer
This operation cleans all nozzles, both black and color. Because this method also resets the
printer, any print data stored in the printer is lost.
1
Ensure that the printer is on.
2
Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button until the POWER lamp flashes
once.
Now the POWER lamp starts flashing and printhead cleaning begins. Do not perform any
other operations until the printhead cleaning has finished. This takes about 40 seconds.
After printhead cleaning is complete, print the nozzle check pattern to verify that the
printhead is clean. If not, repeat printhead cleaning. If the printhead is still not clean after
the third cleaning, perform printhead deep cleaning.
