Clean Printheads
Whenever print quality noticeably decreases
it is a good idea to perform the cleaning
procedure. You may “Clean Printhead” utility
either through the Toolbox in your computer
or from the Control Panel. Click on the
Maintenance Tab of the Toolbox if you wish
to clean the printheads from the Toolbox.
The “Clean Printhead” utility consists of 3
levels of cleaning. Each level of cleaning uses
some ink to clear the printheads. It is
recommended that you start with Level 1 before
proceeding to subsequent levels.
Note that Level 3 takes the longest and uses
the most ink.
To run the “Clean Printhead” utility through
the Control Panel:
1. Press [Menu] until DIAGNOSTICS MENU
appears.
2. Press [Item] to either CLEAN PRNT-HDS
LEVEL 1, 2 or 3.
3. Press [Select] to clean printheads.
Align Printheads
Although you may not notice misalignment,
it is recommended that you run the “Align
Printheads” utility whenever the LCD displays
the message "PRNT-HDS NOT ALIGNED".
This ensures that you have the best possible
print quality.
You may align the printheads either through
the Toolbox or from the Control Panel. Please
refer to the Maintenance Tab of the Toolbox if
you wish to align the printheads from the
Toolbox.
