It also clears the nozzles and helps maintain a high level of print quality. However, if printing problems such as irregular dot print or dot missing should occur, perform the print head cleaning according to the procedure below.

1.	Make sure that the printer is turned on and the paper is loaded.
2.	Press and hold down the I		] and I	I buttons while in on-line.
3.	The	indicator blinks for five seconds while the print head is being cleaned.
	The check pattern shown below can be printed by pressing one of any button within 1.5
	seconds after pressing the I		{ and I	I buttons.

NOTE: The printer does not print the check pattern when the data in the buffer is retained.
