If your printed pages are missing lines or dots, or if they contain ink streaks,
the print cartridges need to be cleaned.
Print cartridges are cleaned automatically using the following procedure:

.
2.
Select the
Clean
panel, then click the
Clean
button.
Follow the on-screen directions.
If your printouts are still missing lines or dots after cleaning, the ink level may
be low in one or both of the print cartridges. If so, one or both print cartridges
may need to be replaced.
If ink streaks still appear on your printouts after cleaning, the print cartridges
and print cartridge cradle may need to be cleaned manually.
