You can clean the print head from your computer using the Head Cleaning utility in the printer driver or from the
printer by using the buttons.

Note:

❏

Because print head cleaning uses some ink from the cartridge, clean the print head only if quality declines; for example, if
the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.

❏

When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. When ink is expended you cannot clean the print head.
Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.

Caution:
