Using the control panel
To clean the print head using the control panel buttons, follow
these steps.
1. Make sure that the printer is on and the
B and
A ink out
lights are off.
2. Press the
R cleaning button for three seconds. The
P power
light begins flashing, and the printer ejects any paper in the
paper path and starts cleaning the print head. This
operation takes about two minutes to complete.
cCaution:
Never turn off the printer while the
P power light is
flashing. Doing so may damage the printer.
3. After the
P power light stops flashing, print a few lines to
confirm that the head is clean and to reset the cleaning
cycle.
If the print quality does not improve, repeat step 2, then print a
few lines to check the output. If print quality does not improve
after repeating this procedure four or five times, follow the
recommendations listed in this chapter. If the quality still does
not improve, contact your dealer.
