Procedures
Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in the rear
tray.
Unclogging of the print head nozzles, and
maintenance to keep the print head conditions good.
If there is a missing portion or white streaks in the
nozzle check pattern printout, perform this cleaning.
If print head manual cleaning is not effective, perform
this cleaning. Since the deep cleaning consumes more
ink than regular cleaning, it is recommended to
perform deep cleaning only when necessary.
Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in the rear
tray. If the automatic print head alignment is not
effective, perform manual print head alignment.
Set 3 sheets of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in the rear
tray.
Confirmation of the current print head alignment
values.
The paper feed rollers rotate while being pushed to the
paper lifting plate. Since the rollers will wear out in
this cleaning, it is recommended that you perform this
only when necessary.
Cleaning of the platen ribs when the back side of
paper gets smeared.
Fold a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in half
crosswise, then unfold and set it in the rear tray with
the folded ridge facing down.
