2.Press [Item] to either CLEAN PRNT-HDS LEVEL 1, 2 or 3.

3.Press [Select] to clean printheads.

Align Printheads

Although you may not notice misalignment, it is recommended that you run the “Align Printheads” utility whenever the LCD displays the message "PRNT-HDS NOT ALIGNED". This ensures that you have the best possible print quality.

You may align the printheads either through the Toolbox or from the Control Panel. Please refer to the Maintenance Tab of the Toolbox if you wish to align the printheads from the Toolbox.
