Follow the procedure below to perform a print head cleaning.

Perform a head cleaning when print quality is affected by missing nozzles.

Head cleaning consumes ink but is sometimes necessary to achieve a full nozzle check. After an ink cartridge is replaced, a print head cleaning will be automatically performed.

  • Perform a head cleaning up to five (5) times in an attempt to clear missing
  • Print and check for any changes in the nozzle check test pattern between each head
  • Do not turn the printer off during print head cleaning. If the printer is turned off during a print head cleaning, start again by printing a nozzle check test
