Maintenance
8-7
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge, see “Replacing an Empty Ink
Cartridge” on page 7-2.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend turning on the printer for at
least one minute every month.

print a nozzle check pattern and to reset the cleaning cycle.
Use the check pattern to confirm the head is clean. See

If print quality hasn’t improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.
Then do the head cleaning again.
