You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem 
comes from the printer itself or some other source. 

1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. 

Then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

2. Make sure letter-size or larger plain paper is loaded in the 

printer.

3. Hold down the ) paper button, then press and release the 

P

power button. Continue holding down the ) paper 

button until the green P power light starts to flash, then 
release it.

The printer prints one page showing its ROM version 
number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. (If the 
pattern has gaps in its lines, you need to clean the print 
head; see below.)

4. Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then 

reconnect the cable and turn on your printer and computer.

If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your 
software settings, interface cable, or computer. 

If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with 
your printer. Try the solutions in the Printer Basics book.

If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or dots or 
lines are missing from the image, 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. 

This section explains how to clean the print head using the 
Head Cleaning utility. This is the recommended method 
when the printer is connected directly to your computer (not 
over a network). 

You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink 
button on the printer’s control panel for three seconds when 
the red H ink out light is off. 

Note: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, 
the print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn on your 
printer at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

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

The P power light should be on, but not flashing. Neither 
of the other lights should be flashing or on.

Note: You can’t clean the print head if the 

H

 ink out light is 

flashing or on. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge 
instead.

2. Load letter-size paper.

4. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print 

head. Cleaning takes about 60 seconds, during which the 
printer makes some noise and the green Ppower light 
flashes. 

Caution: Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light 
is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise 
for more than 5 minutes.

5. When the Ppower light stops flashing, run a nozzle check 

to confirm that the print head nozzles are clean.

Make sure paper is loaded in the printer and click 

Print

head again. If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning 
three or four times, see the solutions in the Printer Basics 
book.
