Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are missing, you may need to
clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print
head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
This section explains how to clean the print head using the Head Cleaning utility.
You can also clean the print head by holding down the button on the printer for
three seconds. (This only works when the red light is off.)
Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, print quality can
decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once a month to maintain
good print quality.
