Cleaning the Printhead
If printing is faint, cleaning the Printhead may improve results.
Choose one of two Printhead cleaning modes (Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B), depending on the problem
to resolve.
• Head Cleaning A
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least
amount of ink.
It takes about six minutes to complete.
• Head Cleaning B
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about seven minutes to complete.
•
Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B.

and affect the printing quality.

•
Shaft (b). This may stain your hands and dam-
age the printer.
