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 cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it

when the cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first.
