Print Head Deep Cleaning

If print quality does not improve by standard print head cleaning, try print head deep cleaning, which is a more powerful process. Print head deep cleaning consumes ink, so perform this procedure only when necessary.

When one of the ink tanks does not print, see “Replacing Ink Tanks” on page 36.

If the problem remains, make sure that ink remains in the ink tank, turn off the printer's power for at least 24 hours, and then perform deep cleaning of the print head again.

If the problem still remains, the print head may be damaged. Contact the Customer Care Center.
