7.If the nozzle check pattern is filled in completely, click Finish.
If the pattern is missing dots, click Clean to clean the print head again. If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the solutions in “Solving Problems Getting Good Print Quality” on page 47. You can also turn the printer off and wait
Using the Control Panel
Follow these steps to clean the print head:
1.Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and both the B black and A color ink out lights are off. (If an ink out light is flashing, replace the ink cartridge before continuing.)
2.Press the R cleaning button and hold it down for three seconds. Cleaning takes about a minute, during which the printer makes some noise and the Ppower light flashes.
Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
3.After the P power light stops flashing, print a page to test the print quality and reset the cleaning cycle.
If your printer is connected directly to the computer, go to step 4 to run a nozzle check.
If you’re printing over a network, open an application and print a small document containing black and color data. Then go to step 8.
4.If you have an application running, access the printer settings dialog box as described on page 13.
Or click Start, point to Settings, then select Printers.
(Document Defaults in Windows NT).
5.Click the Utility tab. You see the Utility menu.
