Using the control panel
To clean the print head using the control panel buttons, follow
these steps.
1. Make sure that the printer is on and the ink out lights are off.
If the lights are on or flashing, replace the empty ink
cartridge.
2. Press the cleaning button for three seconds. The
Operate
light begins flashing, and the printer ejects any paper in the
paper path and starts cleaning the print head. This
operation takes about three minutes to complete.

Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the
Operate light is
flashing. Doing so may damage the printer.
3. After the
Operate light stops flashing, print a few lines to
confirm that the head is clean.
If the print quality does not improve, repeat step 2, then print a
few lines to check the output. If print quality hasn’t improved
after repeating this procedure four or five times, follow the
recommendations listed in this chapter. If the quality still has
not improved, contact your dealer.
