manually if there is a print quality problem.
Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you
get a horizontal line in the text or graphics or
blank text on your printed pages. You can
clean Black only, three colors at a time
(Cyan/Yellow/Magenta), or all four colors at
once.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
