Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head if horizontal streaks are present in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs
the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so clean the print
head only when necessary.
Note
You can also clean the print head using the computer. When using the computer, select the ink group
to clean, then start cleaning.
Cleaning the Print Heads from Your Computer
When cleaning the print head using the button on the printer, the nozzles of all ink colors are
cleaned.
1.
Make sure that the power is turned on.
2.
Hold down the
RESUME/CANCEL
button until the
POWER
lamp flashes white
once, then release it immediately.
The printer starts cleaning the print head.
When the
POWER
lamp is lit white after flashing, the cleaning will be complete.
Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the cleaning of the print head. This
takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head condition after cleaning.

Note
If the problem is not resolved after cleaning the print head twice, clean the print head deeply from the
computer.
