Print Head Cleaning

Clean the Print Head if missing lines or white stripes appear in the nozzle check pattern. This
unclogs the nozzles to restore the Print Head condition. Note that cleaning the Print Head
causes waste ink to be absorbed in the waste ink absorber. Cleaning the Print Head consumes
ink, so perform Print Head cleaning only when necessary.
