Maintenance 9-7
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend turning on the printer for at 
least one minute every month.
Using the control panel buttons
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the control 
panel buttons.
1. Make sure that the 
P
power light is on and that the 
b
error 
light is off.
Note:
If the 
b
error 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 
b
maintenance button to return the print head to its home 
position.
2. Hold down the 
b
maintenance button for three seconds.
The printer starts cleaning the print head and the 
P
power 
light begins flashing. Print head cleaning takes about thirty 
seconds to complete.

Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the
P
power light is flashing. 
Doing so may damage the printer.
