printhead. This cleaning method consumes the least amount of ink. Head
Cleaning A requires about 1 minute to complete.
Perform when the printing is blank or when Head Cleaning A does not
correct the problem. Head Cleaning B requires about 2 minutes to
complete.
If one execution of Head Cleaning A does not correct the problem,
perform Head Cleaning B.
If Head Cleaning B does not correct the problem, repeat Head Cleaning
B two or three times.
If three consecutive cleanings with Head Cleaning B do not solve the
problem, then the printhead is damaged and should be replaced.
