Cleaning the Print Head

If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are missing from the
image, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can
deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality declines. You can
clean the print head in either of the following ways:
With the Head Cleaning utility in your printer software (when connected to a
local port, not over a network), as described on the next page
Using the printer's control panel buttons, as described on page 21
