Canon LR1 Cleaning the Print Head, Normal Print Head Cleaning, Make sure the printer is turned on

Cleaning the Print Head

The LR1 is equipped with two print head cleaning functions: normal print head cleaning and a more powerful deep print head cleaning.

Only execute deep print head cleaning when the print quality does not improve after executing normal print head cleaning.

Perform print head cleaning only when necessary; unnecessary and repetitious print head cleaning wastes ink. Deep print head cleaning consumes a particularly large amount of ink.

Normal Print Head Cleaning

The green POWER light is on.

Print a Nozzle Check Pattern (see page 2-2).
