Samsung 4700 Cleaning the Print Cartridges, There are two methods to clean the print cartridges

Cleaning the Print Cartridges

Cleaning your print cartridges can improve the quality of printing. If your printed page is missing lines or dots or contains ink streaks, clean the print cartridges as described in this section.

There are two methods to clean the print cartridges:

• Printing a cleaning page, which can be done from the front panel of your SF-4700 or from the Control Program on your computer screen.

• Clean the print cartridge nozzles.

Note: Do not clean the print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the life of the print cartridge.

Printing a Cleaning Page from the SF-4700

1. Press Setup on the front panel.

The display shows the first setup menu; DATE & TIME.

2.Press Menu until ‘MAINTENANCE’ appears.

3.Press Option until you find ‘CARTRIDGE CLEAN’, then press Start/Enter to start the print cartridges cleaning process.

4.The printer cleans the print cartridges and print head, printing a page in the process.

5.Examine the cleaning pattern. Compare the diagonal lines at the top and bottom of the test pattern.

A broken line shows any clogged nozzles. If the bottom line shows improvement, rerun this cleaning process two more times.

If this process does not improve the print quality, your print cartridges may be low in ink. Replace the

print cartridge, if necessary.
