Macintosh OS 8.6 to 9.x: Open the File menu and choose Page Setup

or Print. Click the

Utility button, then click the

Head Cleaning

button.

 

 

3. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head.

Cleaning takes about 40 seconds. The printer makes noise and the green power light flashes.

Caution:

Never turn off the printer while the green power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.

4.When the green power light stops flashing, make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then do the following:

Windows: Click Print nozzle check pattern. Then click Print.

Macintosh: Click Confirmation, then click Next. The nozzle check pattern prints.

5.If the nozzle check pattern has no gaps, click Finish.

If the pattern has gaps, click Clean to clean the print head again.

You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again.

■The ink cartridges may need replacing; see your online User’s Guide for instructions on replacing ink cartridges.
