Maintenance and
It's easy to keep your
best. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions in this
chapter for replacing ink cartridges, moving the printer, and
performing routine maintenance.
This chapter covers the following procedures:

Cleaning the print heads

Replacing an ink cartridge
Aligning the print heads
Cleaning the printer
Transporting the printer
Cleaning the Print Heads
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are
missing from the image, you may need to clean the print heads.
This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print heads uses ink, so clean them only if print
quality declines. You can use either of the following to clean the
print heads:
The Head Cleaning utility in your printer software (if the
printer is on a local port rather than a network)
The printer's control panel buttons.
