Print Head Deep Cleaning
If print quality does not improve by standard Print Head Cleaning, try Print Head Deep Cleaning,
which is a more powerful process. Print Head Deep Cleaning consumes ink, so perform this
procedure only when necessary.
1
Turn on the printer.
See “Turning On the Printer” on page 10.
2
Start Print Head Deep Cleaning.
(1)
Display the
Settings
screen.
(2)
Select

and then press the
OK
button.
(3)
Select
Deep Cleaning
and then press the
OK
button.
(4)
Select
Yes
and then press the
OK
button.
3
Print the nozzle check pattern to verify that the Print Head Nozzles are clean.
When Print Head Deep Cleaning finishes, the confirmation message is displayed. Select
Yes
to print the Nozzle Check Pattern, and verify the Print Head Nozzles.
See “Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 43.
Important
Do not perform any other operations until the Print Head Deep Cleaning finishes. This takes about
90 seconds.
Note
If Print Head Deep Cleaning does not resolve the problem, the Print Head may be worn out.
Contact a Canon service representative.
