If print quality diminishes, use the printer’s built-in print-head
cleaning cycle to ensure that the nozzles are delivering ink
properly. To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if
print quality declines.
Follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the printer is turned on and the
PAUSE
light is on.
If
the
PAUSE
light is not on, press the
PAUSE
button to
pause the printer.
2.
Hold down the
ALT
button and press the
PAUSE
button for
two seconds.
The cleaning cycle takes about
20
seconds. The
PAUSE
light
flashes throughout the cycle and then stays on when the
cleaning cycle is finished.
3.
Press the
PAUSE
button to resume printing.
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year.

Remove any paper from the paper feeder.
Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt.
If the outer case or the inside of the paper feeder is dirty,
clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild
detergent. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water
from getting inside.
