will automatically clean the print head. You
can start the cleaning process manually if
there is a print quality problem.
Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you
get a horizontal line or blank text in the text or
graphics on your printed pages. You can
clean Black only, three colours at a time
(Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or all four colours at
once.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
