Cleaning for light stripes: printhead
If the prints have 1/10 in. (2.5 mm) lengthwise stripes that are the wrong color or
have missing colors, you can correct the problem by cleaning the printhead. The
printer automatically executes a printhead cleaning sequence when you run the
Clean:Light Stripes
routine from the front panel.
1. When the printer is on and the
Ready
message or the printer’s name
appears, press the
Clean
button. The printer displays the first
selection in the menu:
Clean:Light Stripes
<---- Clean Test
2. Press the
Clean
button once again.
3.
A series of front panel messages indicate the condition of the printer
as it progresses through a sequence of automatic cleaning routines.
The printer outputs a cleaning page at the end of the cleaning
sequence that you may discard as normal office waste.
4.
When the cleaning sequence is completed, the printer displays the
following message:
Clean:Light Stripes
<---- Clean Test
