Cleaning the Print Head
If printouts are faint or have gaps, you should clean the print head to clear the clogged nozzles. Clean
the print head only if print quality declines or image colors are incorrect.
Note: You can also set up the product to automatically clean the print head at selected intervals using
the Periodical Cleaning and Cleaning Cycle settings in the Setup menu.
You can select from three levels of head cleaning:
• Light: Use this cleaning level first.
• Medium: Use this cleaning level if you cannot clear the clogged nozzles after cleaning with the light
level.
• Heavy: Use this cleaning level if you cannot clear the clogged nozzles after cleaning with the medium
level.
1. Press the maintenance button on the control panel.
You see the Maintenance menu.
2. Press the up or down arrow button to select Head Cleaning and press the OK button.
3. Press the up or down arrow button to choose one of the following cleaning options:
• All Nozzles: Select this option when you see faint printing or gaps in all rows of nozzles in the
check pattern. Go to step 5.
• Selected Nozzles: Select this option when you see faint printing or gaps in only certain rows of
nozzles in the check pattern. You can select to clean multiple nozzle rows, if necessary.
4. To select the nozzle rows for cleaning, press the up or down arrow button to highlight the row
number and press the OK button. Repeat for each row you want to clean. When you finish, select
