Once the Long Clean finishes, a test page prints four color bars with a corresponding number
below each color.
A
Clean [1]?=Go/Stop message appears on the operator panel display for each color bar.
8 For each color bar, press the Stop button if the quality is satisfactory or the Go button if the
quality is not improved.
If you pressed
Go for any of the color bars, the printer does another Long Clean. A Cleaning
Printheads
message appears on the display. After a few seconds the printer prints another
test page with all four colors.

Clean [1]?=Go/Stop message appears on the operator panel display, press the Stop
button for each color bar.
