Cleaning the printhead nozzles
If you have not been using the printer for a long period, then you may need to clean the printhead nozzles to
improve the quality of your prints. Keep your printer plugged to a properly grounded, working electrical outlet to
allow your device to perform automatic maintenance cycles.
Notes:
•
Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.
•
Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
•
If the ink levels are too low, then you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead
nozzles.
