Chapter 12 Maintenance 117
Cleaning The Print Head
If the printed nozzle check pattern is broken, missing, or a specific color is not printed, clean the
print head.
NOTE
• Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often reduces the amount of ink in
the ink tanks.
• Your machine may perform print head cleaning periodically to avoid clogging.
• You can also clean the print head from your computer. (See Software Guide, located on your Setup
CD-ROM)
