Note:
❏
Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting
ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines (for example,
if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing).
❏
Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏
You cannot clean the print head if the message “ink out” is displayed
or the ink icon flashes to show ink out or ink low on the LCD panel.
Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
