Selecting the Media Type Setting

Select the correct Type or Media Type setting so your printer

knows what kind of paper you’re using and adjusts the ink

coverage accordingly.

Printing Borderless Cut Sheets

You can print your photos with no margins, extending the

image all the way to the edges of the page. Although borderless

printing is a bit slower, you get beautiful portraits and

enlargements, without trimming, on the papers and sizes listed

below. See the User’s Guide for details.

Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are

missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs

the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head

cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.

Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, print

quality can decline, so turn it on at least once a month to maintain

good print quality.

This section explains how to clean the print head using the

Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility and the Head

Cleaning utility.

You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink

button on the printer for three seconds (when the red H ink

light is off).

Automatically Checking and Cleaning the

Print Head

The Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility prints a nozzle

check pattern that the printer then reads to see if you have any

clogged nozzles. If cleaning is needed, the printer

automatically cleans the print head.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the

red

H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you

need to replace a cartridge; see page 11.)

2. Load several sheets of plain, letter-size paper in the printer’s

sheet feeder.

3. Do one of the following:

Windows: Right-click the icon on your taskbar (in the

lower right corner of your screen). Select
