Cleaning the Print Head
If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in
the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve these
problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the
nozzles are delivering ink properly.
You can clean the print head from your computer with the Head
Cleaning utility in the printer software, or from the printer itself
by using the printer’s control panel buttons.
Note:
❏ Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting
ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines.
❏ Use the Nozzle Check utility to confirm that the print head needs to
be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏ When the
B
or
A
ink out light is flashing or on, you cannot clean
the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
❏ Do not start the Head Cleaning or Nozzle Check utility while
printing is in progress; otherwise your printout may be marred.
1. Make sure that the
P
power light is on and that both the
B
and
A
ink out lights are off.
Note:
If the
B
or
A
ink out light is flashing or on, you cannot clean the
head, and this operation will start the ink cartridge replacement
procedure. If you do not want to replace an ink cartridge at this
moment, press the
R
cleaning button to return the print head to
its home position.
2. Hold down the
R
cleaning button for three seconds.
The printer starts cleaning the print head and the
P
power
light begins flashing. Print head cleaning takes about one
minute to complete.
