Head-flushing

Follow the procedure below to perform a thorough print head
cleaning. Because head flushing consumes more ink than
head cleaning, do it only if the print head cannot be cleaned
properly by head cleaning.
When the ink cartridge is empty, replace it instead of perform-
ing a print head cleaning. After an ink cartridge is replaced, a
print head cleaning will be automatically performed.
•
Do not turn the machine off during print head cleaning. If the ma-
chine is turned off during print head cleaning, start again from the
beginning.
