cause injury.

Head Cleaning 

This printer has an automatic nozzle check function, and automatically 
performs head cleaning under normal conditions. However, 
depending on the printer settings, the printout may be faint or 
incorrect colors may be printed, due to a clogged print head. If this 
happens, perform head cleaning by using the printer driver.

1.

Turn on the printer.

2.

Display the [

Printing Preferences

] screen of the printer driver.

3.

Click [

Manual Head Cleaning

] on the [

Maintenance And 

Utilities

] tab.

The printer checks for nozzle clogs. If any found, cleaning is 
performed automatically. Cleaning will be repeated 5 times at 
most.

4.

Perform the nozzle check to confirm the cleaning result.
