Cleaning the ink cartridges

  

      

Clean the Inkjet print cartridges when lines or dots are missing from printed text and graphics. 

The missing lines and dots will appear as white lines throughout the text and graphics. This may 

be caused by the spray nozzles being clogged or by the cartridge running out of ink. If the inkjet
