2. Choose Utility from the Print dialog box. Then click the Head
Cleaning button.
3. Follow the on-screen messages.
The
P power light flashes while the printer perf orms the
cleaning cycle. This operation takes about two minutes to
complete.
cCaution:
Never turn off the printer while
P power light is flashing.
Doing so may damage the printer.
4. When the
P power light stops flashing, click th e
Confirmation button in the Head Cleaning dialog box to
print a nozzle check pattern and to reset the cleaning cycle.
Use the check pattern to confirm the head is clean. See page
8-31 to see a sample of the nozzle check pattern.
In the check pattern, if you find that any segments are missing
from the test lines, you may need to repeat the head cleaning
and print the nozzle check pattern again. If print quality hasn’t
improved after repeating this procedure four or five times, try
other recommendations listed in this chapter. If the quality still
has not improved, contact your dealer.
