Flushing the Print Heads
If the nozzle check pattern continues to indicate problems even after repeated head cleaning, flush the print
heads. Flushing cleans the print heads more thoroughly but consumes more ink than print head cleaning.
⋅ Flushing consumes ink. Do it only when necessary.
⋅ Do not attempt any other operations during flushing.
⋅ Flushing is not possible if any of the colours have run out.
⋅ Cleaning might not be completed if a cartridge is almost empty or becomes empty during printing.
Press the {User Tools/Counter} key.
Select [Maintenance] using { U } or
{ T } , and then press the {OK} key.
Select [Flush Print-heads] using { U }
or { T } , and then press the {OK} key.
Select the colour of the print head
you want to flush using { U } or { T } ,
and then press the { V } key to record
your selection.
Press the { { { { { OK} } } } } key.
Press [Yes].
Flushing begins.
Press [Exit], and then print the nozzle
check pattern.
When you press [Exit], the setting screen shown in step
3 reappears. On this screen, select [Nozzle Check Pat-
tern] to print the test pattern.
If the pattern is satisfactory, press [End], and then press the
{ { { { { User Tools/Counter} } } } } key to exit [Flush Print-heads].
