Cleaning the printhead nozzles

If you have not been using the printer for a long period, then you may need to clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of your prints. Keep your printer plugged to a properly grounded, working electrical outlet to allow it to perform automatic maintenance cycles.

Notes:

Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.

Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.

If the ink levels are too low, you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.
