Cleaning the Print Head

If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are

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

unclogs the print head nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.

Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality

declines. You can use either of the following to clean the print head:

◗ The Head Cleaning utility (recommended) in your printer

software (if the printer is on a local port, not on a network)

◗ The printer’s control panel buttons

Using the Head Cleaning Utility

Follow these steps to run the utility:

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

B black and

A color ink out lights are off.

2 Access the printer settings dialog box as described in Setting

Printer Options from Windows Applications.

3 Click the Utility tab. You see the Utility menu.

4 Click the Head Cleaning button.

Caution:

Don’t use the

cleaning sheets that

may be included with

your special media;

they may damage

the printer.
