Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are
missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs
the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head
cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
Caution: When you don't turn on your printer for a long time, print
quality can decline, so turn it on at least once a month to maintain
good print quality.
This section explains how to clean the print head using the
Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility and the Head
Cleaning utility. Use the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning
utility first, to let the printer check and clean the nozzles. If
you still notice problems with quality, you can manually clean
the print head.
Note: You can also clean the print head by holding down the
button on the printer for three seconds (when the red
off).
Automatically Checking and Cleaning the
Print Head
The Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility prints a nozzle
check pattern that the printer then reads to see if you have any
clogged nozzles. If cleaning is needed, the printer
automatically cleans the print head.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the
red H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you
need to replace a cartridge; see page 5.)
2. Load several sheets of plain, letter-size (8.5 × 11 inches)
paper in the printer's sheet feeder.
