indicate a problem with the printer.
Head Cleaning B in the Control Panel menu
consumes a lot of ink. This does not indicate a
problem with the printer. Unless the printer has
been moved or stored for a long period or you are
troubleshooting Printhead problems, we recommend
not performing Head Cleaning B , to the extent
possible.
After initial installation or at the first-time use after

problem with the printer.
