Maintaining Your Printer
Auto Head Maintenance
This printer automatically checks the print head nozzles without printing a pattern and cleans the
nozzles if they are clogged (Auto Head Maintenance). You can choose to turn this function on or off
from the printer’s control panel.
Automatic nozzle checking is performed at predefined times.
Note:
❏
Depending on the circumstances, Auto Head Maintenance may not completely clean the print head
nozzles.
❏
Some ink is consumed from all cartridges while checking the print head nozzles and cleaning the
print head.
Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able to identify
the problem by checking the print head nozzles.
You can check the print head nozzles from your computer by using the Nozzle Check utility or from
the printer by using the control panel or buttons.
Note:
This printer checks the print head on a regular basis to keep the print head clean and to ensure you receive
premium print quality. If the print head nozzles are clogged, the printer automatically cleans the print
head. Normally, you do not need to perform the nozzle check and print head cleaning, however, the
self-cleaning function cannot completely prevent the occurrence of missing dots.
Using the Nozzle Check utility for Windows
Follow the steps below to use the Nozzle Check utility.
1. Make sure that no lights are indicating errors.
