repairs, perform Powerful Cleaning.
This process consumes ink, but it may clear all of the nozzles of clogs.

If the nozzles are not cleared of all clogs despite performing Powerful Cleaning,
repair the printhead.
❏ If you feel that clogged nozzles do not affect the quality of printing, you can
continue to use the printer in this condition. However, because Auto Cleaning will
occur frequently, turn Off the Auto Nozzle Check in the Printer Setup menu.
