3.Select Clean Cartridges. The Cleaning Cartridges window opens.

4.Select Light to clean the ink cartridge nozzles with the least amount of ink. The status field at the bottom of the Cleaning Cartridges window displays a message when the cleaning is complete.

5.Print a test disc after cleaning the ink cartridge nozzles. If print quality is still poor, you can use this process and, in step 4, select Medium or Heavy to clean the ink cartridge nozzles.

Tip: If you remove the ink cartridges and reinsert them, the system resets to show that the cartridges are full, regardless of the actual fill status.

1.Navigate to Printing Preferences.

2.Select the Service tab.

3.Select Check Ink Level. Information displays in the Printer Status field.
