Maintenance
In the check pattern, if you find that any segments are missing
from the test lines, you may need to repeat the head cleaning and
print the nozzle check pattern again.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, unplug the power cord of your printer and
leave it alone overnight. Then do the head cleaning again.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge, see “Replacing an Old or Damaged
Ink Cartridge” on page 7-3.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend turning on the printer for at
least one minute every month.
For Macintosh users
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the Head
Cleaning utility.
1. Access the printer software and click the
Utility icon
button in the Print or Page Setup dialog box, then click the
Head Cleaning
button in the Utility dialog box.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions. Click the
Confirmation
button in the Head Cleaning dialog box to print a nozzle check
pattern and to reset the cleaning cycle. Use the check pattern
to confirm the head is clean. To see a sample of the nozzle
check pattern, see “For Windows users” on page 8-3.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.
Then perform another head cleaning operation.
