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.

After print head cleaning finishes
After print head deep cleaning finishes, print the nozzle check pattern to verify that the print head nozzles are clean. See “Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 39.
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.
