Cleaning the Print Head

Clean the print head if horizontal streaks are present in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs
the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so clean the print
head only when necessary.
Note
• You can also clean the print head using the computer. When using the computer, select the ink group
to clean, then start cleaning.
