Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark
bands across your printout, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs
the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described
on page 49 to see if the print head needs cleaning.
Note:
Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines and the nozzle check indicates
that the print head needs to be cleaned.
If you see an ink error message on the display, you cannot clean the print head. In this case, press
the OK button and replace the appropriate ink cartridge first. See page 53 for details.
