Now the POWER lamp starts flashing and print head deep cleaning begins. The process
takes one or two minutes to complete, so simply wait until the POWER lamp stops flashing.
After print head deep cleaning finishes, print the nozzle check pattern to verify that the head
is clean. If not, check that there are sufficient ink levels in all ink tanks before turning off
printer. Be sure to perform another print head deep cleaning 24 hours after turning off
printer. If the head is still not clean, the print head may be worn out. Contact a Canon
service representative.
