5.  Press Yes (Enter) if print quality is okay. The display returns to the 
Ready screen.
6.  Press No (Options key) if print quality is poor. The screen displays all 
of the maintenance options again.

If the print quality remains poor after repeating the maintenance  
routine and running the print test again, you may need to replace the 
printhead. Refer to Replacing the Printhead section in this chapter.
