Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If your prints show a color shift or horizontal lines, check the print head nozzles for clogs or deflections. If
necessary, run a cleaning cycle.
Note: You can set the printer to automatically check the nozzles periodically using Auto Nozzle Check or before
each print job using Print Nozzle Pattern. You can also run different head cleaning levels and set up automatic
cleaning cycles.
