Important:
Always remove clogs from the nozzles of all colors
before resuming use. If clogged nozzles (including
clogged nozzles for colors that are not used)
remain when printing after resuming use, the
clogs can no longer be removed.

Head Cleaning

If there are faint or missing areas in the check pattern,
you may be able to unclog the nozzles by cleaning the
print head.
There is no need to clean the head if the print result
does not contain faint areas or other color problems.
