If the test page has white streaks or missing colors, the print cartridge needs to be cleaned again. Hold down the OK button and press the On button 5 times.

If the test page still has white streaks or missing colors, the print cartridge needs to be cleaned one more time. Hold down the OK and press the On button button 6 times.

If you complete all three levels of cleaning using this procedure and you still notice white streaks or missing colors on the test page, you may need to clean the print cartridge copper-colored contacts. For more information, see page 34.
