Remarks
Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in
the rear tray.
Unclogging of the print head nozzles, and
maintenance to keep the print head
conditions good.
If there is a missing portion or white streaks
in the nozzle check pattern printout,
perform this cleaning.
If print head cleaning is not effective,
perform this cleaning. Since the deep
cleaning consumes more ink than regular
cleaning, it is recommended to perform
deep cleaning only when necessary.
Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in
the rear tray.
Set 3 sheets of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in
the rear tray.
Confirmation of the current print head
alignment values.
The paper feed rollers rotate while being
pushed to the paper lifting plate. Since the
rollers will wear out in this cleaning, it is
recommended that you perform this only
when necessary.
Cleaning of the platen ribs when the back
side of paper gets smeared.
Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in
the rear tray, then fold another sheet of
plain paper (A4 or Letter) crosswise in half,
unfold and set it over the other paper in the
rear tray with the folded ridge facing down.
