Cleaning for light stripes: printhead

If the prints have 1/10 in. (2.5 mm) lengthwise stripes that are the wrong color or
have missing colors, you can correct the problem by cleaning the printhead. The
printer automatically executes a printhead cleaning sequence when you run the
Clean:Light Stripes routine from the front panel.
