Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality diminishes, use the printer’s built-in print head cleaning
cycle to ensure that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines.
1. Make sure that the printer is on and the
B
and
A
ink out lights are off.
Note:
The print head cannot be cleaned if the
B
or
A
ink out light is flashing or on.
Replace the ink cartridges as needed before proceeding.
2. Press the
R
cleaning button for three seconds. The
P
power light
begins flashing, and the printer ejects any paper in the paper path
and starts cleaning the print head. This operation takes about two
minutes to complete.
c
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the
P
power light is flashing. Doing so
may damage the printer.
3. After the
P
power light stops flashing, print a few lines to confirm that
the head is clean and to reset the cleaning cycle.
If you entered the print head cleaning mode while the printer was
printing a document, the printer feeds paper and resumes printing
automatically.
If the print quality does not improve, repeat step 2, then print a few lines
to check the output. If print quality hasn’t improved after repeating this
procedure four or five times, see Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting.” If the
print quality still has not improved after following the recommendations
listed in Chapter 8, contact your dealer.
