and also after cleaning to confirm that the print head nozzles
have been cleaned. You can access the Head Cleaning utility

Head Cleaning

You can clean the print heads with this utility. You may need to
clean the heads if you notice a decline in print quality. Before
and after print head cleaning, use the Nozzle Check utility to
check whether the print heads need to be cleaned (again). You
can access the Nozzle Check utility directly from the Head
Cleaning utility.

Print Head Alignment

This utility aligns the print heads. Use this utility if you notice a
misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines.
