If you aligned the cartridges to improve print quality, then print your document again. If print quality has not
improved, then clean the printhead nozzles.
Cleaning the printhead nozzles
Poor print quality is sometimes due to clogged printhead nozzles. Clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality
of your prints.
Notes:
• Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.
• Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
• If the ink levels are too low, you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.
Using the printer control panel
From the home screen, navigate to Clean Printhead or Deep Clean Printhead:
> More Options > Clean Printhead or Deep Clean Printhead
