Printing Maintenance

Print Head Deep Cleaning

If print quality does not improve by standard print head cleaning, try performing print head

deep cleaning, which is a more powerful process. Print head deep cleaning consumes ink,

so perform this procedure only when necessary.

1Ensure that the printer is on.

2Open the Printer Properties
