SERVICE MAINTENANCE
This printer requires some maintenance if it detects an error or if you observe a decline in print
quality.
Printhead Cleaning
If print quality deteriorates, clean the printhead using the built-in printhead cleaning function. The
printer also has an automatic printhead cleaning cycle to ensure the proper nozzle operation for ink
ejection, as well as to preserve the printhead in its best condition. Therefore, to avoid wasting ink,
perform this printhead cleaning operation only if print quality declines.
1.
Turn the printer on and press the
Pause
button to pause the printer. Make sure that the
PAUSE
LED is on.
2.
Hold down the
Alt
button and press the
Load/Eject
button for black head cleaning.
Hold down the
Alt
button and press the
Economy/Condensed
button for color head
cleaning.
When the printer accepts the panel button selection, the
PAUSE
LED flashes during the cleaning
cycle. When cleaning completes, the
PAUSE
LED stops flashing and returns to the standby mode.
