Print Head Cleaning - Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Series Quick Start Manual

Print Head Cleaning

Clean the Print Head if white stripes appear in the nozzle check pattern. Note that cleaning
the Print Head causes ink used for cleaning to be absorbed in the ink absorber. Cleaning the
Print Head consumes ink, so perform Print Head Cleaning only when necessary.
Ensure that the Inner Cover is closed.
