Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed nozzle check
pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head
consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary.
1.
Check that printer is turned on.
2.
Press and hold the
Stop
button and release it when the
Alarm
lamp flashes once.
The printer starts cleaning the print head.
When the
ON
lamp flashes and then lights up, the cleaning is complete.
Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the cleaning of the print head. This takes
about 1 minute.
3.
Check the print head condition.
To check the print head condition,
print the nozzle check pattern
Note
• If the problem is not resolved after cleaning the print head twice, clean the print head deeply.
