Cleaning the Ink Jet Nozzles
Ink that collects around the ink jet nozzles may stain your documents
or cause the text to appear as scratched. Clean the area around the ink
jet nozzles periodically. Cleaning the ink jet nozzles is also efficient
action when the printed text becomes faint.

If your documents are stained and smudged from printing even after you
clean the ink absorber, you should replace the ink absorber. Contact your
local authorized Canon dealer or service representative.
