7To further improve print quality, try wiping the print cartridge nozzles and contacts (see page 44), and then print your document again.

8If print quality has not improved, try cleaning the print cartridge nozzles up to two more times.

Wiping the print cartridge nozzles and contacts

If the print quality does not improve after cleaning the print cartridge nozzles, dried ink may be on the nozzles or contacts. To wipe the print cartridge nozzles and contacts:

1Remove the print cartridges. For help, see page 38.

2Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.

3Hold the cloth against the gold nozzle area for about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry in one direction (this prevents the colors in the color cartridge from mixing).
