Cleaning The Print Head - Canon BJC-3010 User Manual

Cleaning the Print Head

Cleaning the print head clears the nozzles. There are two ways to clean the print head: normal print
head cleaning and deep print head cleaning. Always execute normal print head cleaning first. If this
does not correct the problem then execute deep print head cleaning.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink so clean the print head only when necessary.
You can also execute print head cleaning directly from the printer. Hold down the reset button, and
release it after the power lamp flashes once.

The POWER lamp starts flashing and print head clean-
ing begins. It takes approximately 40 seconds until the
POWER lamp stops flashing and the normal print head
cleaning operation is completed.
