Cleaning The Print Head; Normal Print Head Cleaning - Canon LR1 User Manual

Cleaning the Print Head

The LR1 is equipped with two print head cleaning functions: normal print head cleaning
and a more powerful deep print head cleaning.
Only execute deep print head cleaning when the print quality does not improve after
executing normal print head cleaning.
Perform print head cleaning only when necessary; unnecessary and repetitious
print head cleaning wastes ink. Deep print head cleaning consumes a
particularly large amount of ink.
