The Pause light of the printer flashes during the cleaning

cCaution:
Never turn off the printer until the cleaning cycle is fini shed
and the Pause light has stopped flashing. Doing so may
damage the printer.

(Windows) or the Confirmation button (Macintosh) in the
Head Cleaning dialog box, or print a few lines from a
document, to confirm that the hea ds are clean.
Nozzle Check Pattern
Good Condition: Print head clean was successful.
Poor condition: Print he ads require further cl eaning.
Note:
Actual tests are printed in color.
In the check pattern, if you find that segments are still missing
from the test lines, you may need to repeat head cleaning and
print the nozzle check pattern again.
If print quality does not improve even after repeating this
procedure several times, contact your dealer.
