3. Maintenance
Your printer performs automatic maintenance routines based on time and use. Because of this, your
machine is almost always ready to print when you need it. However, it is also a best practice to perform a
nozzle check prior to printing. Also, regardless of whether the printer is in use or not, printing a nozzle
check every day to check the condition of the printer will enable you to detect and address problems early.
Below is a list of maintenance procedures and frequency.
