Print Head Deep Cleaning

If print quality does not improve by standard print head cleaning, try print head deep cleaning, which is

• After print head deep cleaning finishes, print the nozzle check pattern to verify that the print head
nozzles are clean. See "Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern" on page 28.
• When one specific color only does not print, see "Replacing an Ink Tank" on page 23.
• If the print head nozzles are still not clean, open the cover and ensure that there are sufficient ink
levels in all ink tanks and turn off the printer. Be sure to perform another print head deep cleaning
24 hours after turning off the printer.
• If this does not solve the problem, the print head may be damaged. Contact a Canon service
representative.
