Cleaning the print head
To maintain good print quality, the machine will automatically clean the print head when needed. You can start the cleaning process manually if there is a print quality problem.
Clean the print head if you get a horizontal line in the text or graphics, or blank text on your printed pages. You can clean Black only, three colours at a time (Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or all four colours at once.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.

The machine cleans the print head. When cleaning is finished, the machine will go back to the Ready mode automatically.
Note
If you clean the print head at least five times and the print has not improved, try installing a new Brother Original Innobella™ ink cartridge for each problem colour. Try cleaning the print head again up to five more times. If the print has not improved call your Brother customer service or your local Brother dealer.
