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.
This section explains how to clean the print head using the
Head Cleaning Utility.
You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink
button on the printer for three seconds. (This only works
when the red H ink light is off.)
Caution: When you don't turn on your printer for a long time, print
quality can decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once
a month to maintain good print quality.
