Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. If the
nozzles are severely clogged, a blank sheet will be printed. When print quality has declined, first use the nozzle
check feature to check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head.
