Print Head Cleaning

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the
print head. Use the nozzle check pattern to determine which colors need cleaning. You can save ink by
cleaning only selected colors (control panel only).
Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it
when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first.
Your printer automatically checks the print head nozzles when the printer is turned on and before
printing; and cleans them when it detects clogged nozzles. To change this setting, select General
Settings > Printer Settings > Auto Cleaning.
Note: When Auto Cleaning is enabled, the nozzles are checked after head cleaning and, if clogging is
detected, auto cleaning is performed. Depending on the status of the nozzles, this process can take up
to 32 minutes.
