Cleaning the Printhead

When the ink nozzles of the printhead become clogged, you can restore 
normal operation by cleaning the printhead.
Cleaning the printhead consumes ink, so clean the printhead only when it is 
necessary.

There are three methods for printhead cleaning.

„

„

„

„

Perform when the printing is faint or when dust has collected on the 
printhead. This cleaning method consumes the least amount of ink. Head 
Cleaning A requires about 3 minutes to complete.

„

„

„

„

Perform when the printing is blank or when Head Cleaning A does not 
correct the problem. Head Cleaning B requires about 4 minutes to 
complete.

„

„

„

„

Perform when the printer has not been used for a long period, or when 
Head Cleaning B does not correct the problem. This cleaning method 
consumes the most ink. Head Cleaning C requires about 6 minutes.

Follow the procedure below to clean the printhead. The procedure is 
basically the same for all three methods for cleaning the printhead.

• If one execution of Head Cleaning A does not correct the problem, 

perform Head Cleaning B.

• If Head Cleaning B does not correct the problem, repeat Head 

Cleaning B two or three times.

• If three consecutive cleanings with Head Cleaning B does not solve 

the problem, then perform Head Cleaning C.

• If Head Cleaning C does not restore normal operation of the printhead, 

then the printhead is damaged and should be replaced. (ÆP.5-10)
