Cleaning the print head

If the printed nozzle check pattern is broken, missing, or a specific colour is not printed, clean the print head.

NOTE

•Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often reduces the amount of ink in the ink tanks.

•Your machine performs print head cleaning every time you plug in the power cord. The machine also performs the cleaning periodically when it is ON.

•PC You can also clean the print head from your computer. (See Software Guide.)

Follow this procedure:

2Use [ ] or [ ] to select <2.MAINTENANCE>.

3Press [OK/Set].

– <HEAD REFRESHING>: Performs deep print head cleaning.

5Press [OK/Set].

Ex:
