Cleaning the Printhead
If printing is faint, cleaning the Printhead may improve results.
Choose one of two Printhead cleaning modes (
Head Cleaning A
or
Head Cleaning B
), depending on the problem to
resolve.
•
Head Cleaning A
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least
amount of ink.
It takes about three and a half minutes to complete.
•
Head Cleaning B
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if
Head Cleaning A
does not solve the problem.
It takes about four minutes to complete.
Caution
•
Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either
Head Cleaning A
or
Head Cleaning B
.
Note
•
If printing does not improve after
Head Cleaning B
, try repeating
Head Cleaning B
once or twice. If this still does not improve
printing, the Printhead may have reached the end of its useful life. Contact your Canon dealer for assistance.
•
Nozzles are periodically checked to ensure they are clear. Configure the settings on the Control Panel menu in
Nozzle Check
.
(See "Menu Settings.")
