3. Click Start to begin the cleaning cycle, which lasts around 1 minute.
The power light flashes throughout the cleaning cycle and stays on green when the cycle is
finished.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.
4. When the power light stops flashing and remains on, you can check to see if the nozzles are
clean; click Print Nozzle Check Pattern and click Print.
5. Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines.
6. If there are no gaps, click Finish.
If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, click Clean to clean the print head again.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 4 times, turn off the printer
and wait at least 6 hours. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If
quality still does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may be old or damaged and needs to be
replaced. See Replace Ink Cartridges.
