Clean Print-heads (Normal)
Follow the procedure below to perform a normal print-head cleaning. Perform a head cleaning when a particular color
cannot be printed or print images are blurred. Head cleaning consumes ink.
● When the Print cartridge is empty, replace it instead of performing a print-head cleaning. After a Print cartridge is replaced, a print-head
cleaning will be automatically performed.
1. Slide the envelope selector to the forward position.
2. Open the printer properties dialog box.
3. Click the [Maintenance] tab.
4. Click [Clean Print-heads (Normal)].
5. In the [Select print-head(s)] area, select a color.
6. Click [Next >].
7. Click [Next >].
❍ Do not perform another operation before cleaning is complete.
8. Click [Finish].
❍ To check the condition of print-heads after cleaning, select the [Print nozzle check test pattern] check box, and then click [Next >].
Nozzle check starts.
❍ If the condition of the print-heads is not satisfactory, perform head cleaning again. However, the heads may remain clogged and the
printer may not print properly even if you clean the heads multiple times. If this happens, perform a full print head cleaning. If there
is still no improvement, turn the printer off, and then leave it turned off for at least 8 hours. This may solve the problem.
