Running Power Cleaning

The 

Power Cleaning

 utility allows you to replace all of the ink inside the ink tubes. In the following situations, you

may need to use this feature to improve the print quality.

You printed or performed head cleaning when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows.

You performed the nozzle check and head cleaning several times and then waited for at least 12 hours without
printing, but print quality still did not improve.

Before running this feature, read the following instructions.

c

Important:

Make sure that there is enough ink in the ink tanks.

Visually check all ink tanks are at least a third full. Low ink levels during Power Cleaning could damage the product.
