Cleaning the Print Head Deeply

head deeply. Cleaning the print head deeply consumes more ink than the standard cleaning
of the print head, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary.

1. Make sure that the power is turned on.
2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the front tray.
