3. When the Operate light stops flashing, print a few lines from
a document to confirm that the head is clean and to reset the
cleaning cycle.
If print quality hasn't improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the Stylus Scan off and leave it off
overnight. Then try the head cleaning again.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see "Replacing an
Old or Damaged Ink Cartridge" on page 10-9.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend turning on the Stylus Scan
for at least one minute every month.
