Print Head Cleaning

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the
print head.

Note:

You cannot clean the print head if the ink level has reached the lower line on the ink tank, and may

not be able to clean it when the ink level in any of the tanks is low. You must refill the ink tank first.
