If any paper you buy comes with a cleaning sheet, don’t use the cleaning sheet with this printer; it may jam inside the printer.
Using the Head Cleaning Utility
Follow these steps to run the Head Cleaning utility:
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.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).
3.Click the Utility tab.
4.On the Utility menu, click the Head Cleaning button.
5.Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. Cleaning takes a little over a minute, during which the printer makes some noise and the P power light flashes.
Never turn off the printer while the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
6.When the P power light stops flashing, run a nozzle check to confirm the print head nozzles are clean and reset the cleaning cycle.
Make sure paper is loaded in the printer and click Print nozzle check pattern. Then click Next. The nozzle check pattern prints; see the next section for details.
