Print Head Cleaning

Clean the print head if missing lines or white stripes appear in the printed nozzle check pattern.

After print head cleaning finishes

After print head cleaning finishes, print the nozzle check pattern to
verify that the print head nozzles are clean. See “Printing the Nozzle
Check Pattern” on page 55.

When ink is low, the nozzle check pattern is not printed correctly. See
“Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 50.

If the print quality remains poor, repeat print head cleaning twice.
