Maintaining Your Product

Follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head nozzles, check ink

levels, and replace the ink cartridge. If you need to align the print head, see the online

User’s Guide.

Caution: To keep your product looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the

cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, non-

abrasive microfiber-type cloth.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may

be clogged or ink may be running low in the ink cartridge. Follow the steps below to check

the print head nozzles.

1. Load a few sheets of letter- or A4-size paper in the sheet feeder.

2. Press the x

Menu button.

3. Press u or d to select

Maintenance, then press OK.

4. Press u or d to select

Nozzle Check, then press the x Start button.

5. Check the nozzle check pattern that prints to see if there are gaps in the lines.

6. If there are no gaps, the print head is clean. Press

1 to select Finish.

If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, press

2 to select Head Cleaning and clean the

print head (see page 22).
