Cleaning the Print Head
If you find that the copied image is unexpectedly faint or some dots are missing, you may be able to solve these problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the Control Panel.
Note:
❏Print head cleaning uses both color and black inks. To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if the copy quality drops (for example, blurred printout, incorrect or missing color.)
❏Use the nozzle check first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏When the Error light is on and a message appears on the LCD panel to prompt you to replace the ink cartridge or to indicate the ink is low, you cannot clean the print head. In this case, replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
1. Make sure that this product is on and the Error light is off.
