Cleaning the print head

To ensure good print quality, the DCP will regularly clean the print
head. You can start the cleani ng process manually if needed.
Clean the print head an d ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in
the text or graphics on your printed pages. You can clean Black only
or three colors at a time (Cyan /Yellow/Magenta), or all fou r colors at
once.
Cleaning the print head con sumes ink. Cleaning too often uses i nk
unnecessarily.
Caution
Do NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause
permanent damage and may void the print head’s warranty.
