Cleaning the Print Heads

If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots
in the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve
these problems by cleaning the print heads, which ensures that
the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
You can clean the print heads from your computer using the
Head Cleaning utility in the printer software.
