9-8 Maintenance

3. When the power light stops flashing, print a nozzle check

pattern to confirm that the head is clean and to reset the

cleaning cycle.

If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure

four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.

Then, do the head cleaning again.

If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink

cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.

See “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 8-1.

If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink

cartridges, contact your dealer.

Note:

To maintain print quality, we recommend turning on the printer for at

least one minute every month.
