•
Head Cleaning A
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least
amount of ink.
•
Head Cleaning B
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if
Head Cleaning A
does not solve the problem.
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 assistance.
Note
•
By default, nozzles are checked at fixed intervals.
