Cleaning The Print Head
If the printed nozzle check pattern is broken, missing, or a specific color 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, located on your Setup
CD-ROM)

necessary.

5 Press [Set].
IMPORTANT
If normal print head cleaning does not improve print quality, perform deep print head
cleaning.
NOTE
When cleaning has finished, the machine will return to standby mode and no document will be
printed.
