Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance

Cleaning the print head

To ensure good print quality, the machine will
regularly clean the print head. You can start
the cleaning process manually if needed.

Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you
get a horizontal line in the text or graphics on
your printed pages.

Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the
print head may cause permanent damage
and may void the print head's warranty.

Checking the print quality
