Note:
❏Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting
ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines. For example,
clean the print head if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect
or missing.
❏Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏When the
Bblack or
Acolor ink out light is flashing or on, you
cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge
first.
❏Do not start the Head Cleaning or Nozzle Check utility while
printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be marred.
