Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head if the nozzle check pattern has missing lines or horizontal white streaks. Cleaning
unclogs nozzles and restores the print head to a better condition. However, because print head cleaning
consumes ink, this operation is advisable only when necessary.
Note
• Cleaning can also be performed from a computer. When using a computer, you can also select the ink
group for cleaning.
