Caring for Your Printer
Cleaning Your Printer
Routine maintenance should be done at regular intervals to
maintain top performance and avoid print quality problems and
paper feed problems. The following sections step you through the
process of cleaning the print cartridge printheads.
Cleaning the Printheads
Run the printhead test to clean the printheads. A test line prints so
you can see if the cleaning process was successful. Use the
printheads test:
•
When you suspect the printheads are clogged.
•
When characters are not printing completely.
To run the printhead test:
1
Make sure the paper is loaded in the standard input tray
and the
Ready
status message appears on the operator
panel display.
If an error message appears, see “Understanding Printer
Messages” on page 145.
