Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles:
1.Turn off the CX4400 Series.
2.Load
3.Hold down the y Stop button as you press the P On button. Hold down both buttons until the P On light begins to flash, then release the buttons.
The CX4400 Series turns on and prints a test pattern:
Print head nozzles are clean:
Print head needs to be cleaned:
If the pattern does not look good, try cleaning the print head as described below.
Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head.
Note:
Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary. If the red
Bink light comes on or flashes, you cannot clean the print head. In this case, replace the appropriate ink cartridge first (see page 8).
1.Make sure the CX4400 Series is on and the B ink light is off.
2.Hold down the y Stop button for at least 3 seconds until the P On light starts flashing. The CX4400 Series runs a head cleaning cycle, which takes about one minute.
Caution:
Never turn off the CX4400 Series during head cleaning or you may damage it.
3.When the P On light stops flashing, run a nozzle check to verify that the print head is clean.
4.If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.
Note:
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head two times, turn off the CX4400 Series and wait at least 6 hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again. If you do not use your CX4400 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
