After cleaning the print heads, run a self test to check the print
quality. If it is still not satisfactory, repeat the cleaning cycle.
(You may need to do this several times.) If it does not improve
after you clean the print heads five times, replace one or both
ink cartridges as described in the next section.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
You need to replace an ink cartridge when it runs out of ink
(the printer stops printing that color) or if print quality declines
and cleaning the print head did not improve it. You can check
print quality by doing a printer self test, as described in your
Setup and Software Guide
.
