Cleaning the Print Head

If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are
missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head. This
unclogs the print head nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality
declines. You can use either of the following to clean the print head:
The Head Cleaning utility in your printer software (if the printer
is on a local port, not on a network) (see
Cleaning Utility)
The printer's control panel buttons (see
Control Panel)
Do not clean the print head while printing is in progress; otherwise
your printout may be marred.
