LEANING THE RINT
Print cartridges are automatically cleaned at regular
intervals when the printer is on. This operation keeps
print cartridge nozzles unobstructed, to assure the correct
flow of ink. If automatic nozzle cleaning does not provide
a satisfactory print quality, perform the cleaning operation
using the clean function in the Printer Care tab. If the print
quality does not improve then, clean the electrical contacts
and manually clean the nozzles.
