Cleaning the Print Head
The printer periodically cleans the print head automatically, so
normally you should not need to manually run a cleaning
cycle. However, if print quality diminishes, run the print head
cleaning cycle to unclog the print head so the nozzles deliver
ink properly.
The cleaning cycle takes about one minute, during which the
carriage moves and you hear the printer recharging the print
head. The
Pause
light flashes throughout the cleaning cycle
and then stays on when the cycle is finished.
Follow these steps to clean either print head:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and press the
Pause
button.
2. Hold down the
Alt
button and press
Pause
. The cleaning
cycle begins.
3. When the cleaning cycle is done, press the
Pause
button to
resume printing.
