Making Printer Settings

Head-flushing

Follow the procedure below to perform a thorough print-head cleaning. Since this consumes more ink than a normal head cleaning does, perform this when the problem persists after performing a normal head cleaning.

When the Print cartridge is empty, replace it instead of performing a print-head cleaning. After a Print cartridge is replaced, a print-head cleaning will be automatically performed.

1. Slide the envelope selector to the forward position.

2.Open the printer properties dialog box.

3.Click the [Maintenance] tab.

4.Click [Head-flushing].

5.In the [Select print-head(s)] area, select a colour.

6.Click [Next >].

7.Select the [Head-flushing] check box.

8.Click [Next >]. Head cleaning starts.

Do not perform another operation before cleaning is complete.

9.Click [Finish].

To check the condition of print-heads after cleaning, select the [Print nozzle check test pattern] check box, and then click [Next >]. The nozzle check starts.

A full print-head cleaning consumes a lot of ink. Perform it only when necessary.

A full print-head cleaning may deplete the ink before the Print cartridge is expected to need to be changed.
