4. When the process light stops flashing, click the Confirmation
button in the Head Cleaning dialog box to print a nozzle check
pattern and to reset the cleaning cycle. Use the check pattern
to confirm that the head is clean. Refer to page 148 to see a
sampleofthenozzlecheckpattern.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight,
then try head cleaning again.
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 Ink Cartridges” on
page 8-1.
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.
Using the control panel buttons
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the control
panel buttons.
1. Make sure that the process light is on and that the

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.
