Cleaning the Print Head Nozzles

Cleaning the Print Head Nozzles
If printouts are faint or have gaps, you should clean the print head to clear the clogged nozzles. Clean
the print head only if print quality declines or image colors are incorrect. You can clean the print head
when printing is paused, if necessary, but the colors in your printout may change when you resume
printing.
Note: You can also set up the product to automatically clean the print head at selected intervals using
the Periodical CL Cycle setting in the Customize Settings menu or the Auto Nozzle Check setting in
the Printer Setup menu.
You can select from three levels of head cleaning:
• Cleaning (Light): Use this cleaning level first.
• Cleaning (Medium): Use this cleaning level if you cannot clear the clogged nozzles after cleaning with
the light level.
• Cleaning (Heavy): Use this cleaning level if you cannot clear the clogged nozzles after cleaning with
the medium level.
Note: If colors are faint or missing even after cleaning the print head, manually clean around the print
head inside the product.
