Cleaning the Printhead
• Head Cleaning A
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least

• Head Cleaning B
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about four minutes to complete.
