Checking the Clogged Nozzles
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, or banding may appear. When there is a problem in printing
quality or when printing large quantities, we recommend using the nozzle check feature. If the nozzles are clogged,
clean the print head.
c
Important:
Do not open the ink cartridge cover or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete,
you may not be able to print.
Note:
❏
Because print head cleaning uses some ink, it may not be performed when ink is low.
❏
Drying causes clogging. To prevent the print head from drying out, always turn the printer off by pressing the
P
button.
Do not unplug the printer or turn off the circuit breaker while the power is on.
