Important
•
Deep Cleaning
consumes a larger amount of ink than
Cleaning
.
Cleaning the print head frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply. Consequently, perform
cleaning only when necessary.
Note
• If there is no sign of improvement after
Deep Cleaning
, switch off the printer, wait 24 hours, and then
perform
Deep Cleaning
again. If there is still no sign of improvement, the ink may have run out or the
print head may be worn. For details on the remedial action to be taken, see "
