Canon imagePROGRAF iPF765 - Manual (Page 42)

• Head Cleaning A
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least
amount of ink.
It takes about three and a half minutes to complete.
• Head Cleaning B
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about four minutes to complete.
Caution
• Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B.
Note
• If printing does not improve after Head Cleaning B, try repeating Head Cleaning B once or twice. If this still does not
improve printing, the Printhead may have reached the end of its useful life. Contact your Canon dealer for assistance.
• Nozzles are periodically checked to ensure they are clear. Configure the settings on the Control Panel menu in Nozzle
Check. (See "Menu Settings.")
