When you want to unclog the print
head
We recommend checking for clogging by performing a
print head nozzle check if the printer has not been
used for an extended period or before important print
jobs.
If the nozzle check results indicate clogging, carry out
print head cleaning.
Ink is consumed during print head cleaning.
Check the remaining amounts of ink cartridges and
the amount of empty space in the Maintenance Box
and provide new ink cartridges and Maintenance Box
in advance if they are low.
