Cleaning the Ink Cartridge Nozzles
You may need to clean the nozzles when:

• Print appears smudged or too dark.
• Colors fade, do not print, or do not print completely.
• Vertical lines appear jagged, or edges appear rough.

2 In Windows XP, click Start→Control Panel→Printers and Other Hardware→Printers and
Faxes.
