Print Head Cleaning
Clean the Print Head if lines are missing or if white streaks appear in the printed
nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head
condition. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed in the
ink absorber. Cleaning the Print Head consumes ink, so perform Print Head
Cleaning only when necessary.
