Maintenance Procedure If print results are blurred, colors are not printed correctly, or print results are unsatisfactory (e.g. misaligned printed ruled lines), perform the maintenance procedure below. Important • Do not rinse or wipe the print head and ink tank. This can cause trouble with the print head and ink tank.
Page 109
From the printer Cleaning the Print Head From the computer • For Windows: Cleaning the Print Heads • For Mac OS: Cleaning the Print Heads After cleaning the print head, print and examine the nozzle check pattern: Step1 If the problem is not resolved after performing from step 1 to step 3 twice: Clean the print head deeply.
Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzle. Note • If the remaining ink level is low, the nozzle check pattern will not be printed correctly. Replace the ink tank whose ink is low.
Page 111
The confirmation screen will appear. 6. Select Yes. The operation panel is opened and the paper output tray is pulled out automatically. The nozzle check pattern will be printed and two pattern confirmation screens will appear on the touch screen. Examine the nozzle check pattern.
Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern, and clean the print head if necessary. 1. Check if there are missing lines in the pattern C or horizontal white streaks in the pattern D. A: No missing lines/No horizontal white streaks B: Lines are missing/Horizontal white streaks are present 2.
Page 113
For A (no missing lines or no horizontal white streaks) in both the pattern C and pattern D: The cleaning is not required. Select All A, confirm the message, then select OK. The screen will return to the Maintenance screen. For B (lines are missing or horizontal white streaks are present) in the pattern C or pattern D, or in both patterns: The cleaning is required.
Cleaning the Print Head Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary. You need to prepare: a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper 1.
Page 115
The confirmation screen will appear. 6. Select Yes. The printer starts cleaning the print head. Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the cleaning of the print head. This takes about 1 minute. The pattern print confirmation screen will appear. 7.
Deep Print Head Cleaning If print quality does not improve by the standard cleaning of the print head, clean the print head deeply. Cleaning the print head deeply consumes more ink than the standard cleaning of the print head, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary.
Page 117
The confirmation screen will appear. 6. Select Yes. The printer starts cleaning the print head deeply. Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the deep cleaning of the print head. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes. The pattern print confirmation screen will appear.
Aligning the Print Head If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position. Note • If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly. Replace the ink tank whose ink is low.
Page 119
The confirmation screen will appear. 6. Confirm the message, then select Yes. The operation panel is opened and the paper output tray is pulled out automatically. The print head alignment sheet will be printed. Important • Do not touch any printed part on the print head alignment sheet. If the sheet is stained or wrinkled, it may not be scanned properly.
Page 120
8. Close the document cover gently, then select OK. The printer starts scanning the print head alignment sheet, and the print head position will be adjusted automatically. Important • Do not open the document cover or move the print head alignment sheet on the platen glass until adjusting the print head position is complete.
