Canon ip100 Anleitung Für Quick Setup

Routine Maintenance

If print quality does not improve by standard Print Head Cleaning, try Print Head Deep Cleaning, 
which is a more powerful process. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed 
in the ink absorber. Print Head Deep Cleaning consumes more ink than standard Print Head 
Cleaning, so perform this procedure only when necessary.

Make sure that the printer is on.

Open the printer properties dialog box.

Start Print Head Deep Cleaning.

(1) Click the Maintenance tab.
(2) Click Deep Cleaning.
(3) Select the ink group to be deeply cleaned.

(4) Click Execute.

(5) Confirm the displayed message and click OK. 

Print Head Deep Cleaning starts when the Power lamp starts flashing green.
Do not perform any other operations until Print Head Deep Cleaning finishes. This takes 
about 2 minutes.

Check the condition of the Print Head.

(1) Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray and set the Paper 

Thickness Lever to the right.
For details on the Paper Thickness Lever, refer to “Front View” in “Main Components” of 
the User’s Guide on-screen manual.

(2) Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head condition.

See “Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 25.

(3) If the print head nozzles are still not clean, turn off the printer and perform another Print 

Head Deep Cleaning after 24 hours.

(4) If this does not solve the problem, the Print Head may be damaged. Contact your Canon 

Service representative.

Clicking Initial Check Items displays the items to 

be checked before deep cleaning.
