until the green indicator blinks once. Then let go of the button. Cleaning will then start.

same as using the printer driver to clean all of the ink nozzles.

Printing the nozzle check pattern requires B5 or larger paper. If the
paper's width is narrower than the nozzle check pattern, the printer will
print on the bare platen, dirtying the platen with ink.
To stop printing of the test pattern midway, press the POWER button.
Printing will stop and the paper will be ejected. The printer will remain on.
If the problem persists even after cleaning the BJ cartridge three times,
Perform Deep Cleaning of from the driver. If that still does not resolve the
problem, replace the BJ cartridge.
