nozzles for those colors are clogged.
If horizontal lines are faint or incomplete, follow the steps below
and check again for nozzle clogging.

Cleaning the Printhead
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 four 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 five minutes to complete.
Important
•
Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either
Head Cleaning A
or
Head Cleaning B
.
Ink may leak or an error may occur.
•
If printing does not improve even if you execute
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 assis-
tance.
Note
•
Nozzles are periodically checked to ensure they are clear. Configure the settings on the Control Panel menu in
Nozzle Check
.
(See "Menu Settings.")
