Maintenance
Clearing a Clogged Print
Head
The print head nozzles may be clogged if the printouts
have streaks, uneven colors, blurred text, or if the
image is printed in an unexpected color. Check the
nozzles and clean the print head if it is clogged. If
clogging cannot be cleared after performing normal
cleaning three times in a row, perform a powerful
head cleaning.
Note the following points before cleaning.
❏
Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
This is only necessary when there is a problem
with the print results and a nozzle check has
confirmed clogging.
Powerful head cleaning consumes more ink than
normal print head cleaning.
❏
If the ink levels are low, prepare new ink bottles in
advance.
❏
If the amount of free space in the maintenance
box is low, prepare a new maintenance box in
advance.
