4. When the P power light stops flashing, click the
Confirmation button in the Head Cleaning dialog box to
print a nozzle check pattern and to reset the cleaning cycle.
Use the check pattern to confirm that the head is clean.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.
Then, do the nozzle check again, and repeat the head cleaning if
necessary.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge, see "Print quality does not improve
after head cleaning" on page 186.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages at least
once every month.
