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.
Note
Make sure that the Inner Cover is closed.
1 Make sure that the machine is turned on, and then load a sheet of A4 or Letter- sized plain paper in the Rear Tray or Cassette.
