Caution:

ink cartridge cover is opened.
❏ Print head cleaning will consume ink. Excess print head cleaning will result in reduction
of ink cartridge life.
Note:
❏ Clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the printout is blurry or the color
is incorrect or missing.
❏ Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves
ink.
❏ When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. When ink has reached its
replacement time, you cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
