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

red

 

H

ink light is not on. (If the red

4. Click 

Print

. The nozzle check pattern prints. (See the 

example on page 8.)

5. If there are no gaps in the patterns, click 

Finish

.

If there are gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, click 

Clean

 and follow the on-screen instructions to clean the 

print head.

If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice 
light or dark bands across your printout, you may need to 
clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can 
deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it 
only if quality declines.

You can clean the print head using the buttons on the control 
panel or using the computer.

Before you clean the print head, make sure the CD/DVD tray 
is not inserted in the printer.

Caution: If you don’t use your printer often it is a good idea to print 
a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

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

red

 

H

ink light is off. (If the red

 

H

ink light is flashing or 

on, you need to replace a cartridge.)

2. Hold down the

 

H

ink button for 3 seconds.

The printer cleans the print head and the green P power 
light flashes. Cleaning takes about two minutes.

Caution: Never turn off the printer while head cleaning is in 
progress. You may damage it.

3. When the green P power light stops flashing, make sure 

paper is loaded in the printer, then print a nozzle check to 
determine whether you need to clean the print head again. 
See page 8 for more information.

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning four times, 
turn the printer off and wait at least 6 hours. This allows 
any dried ink to soften. Then clean the print head again.
