Once you’ve removed both cartridges from their original packages, always
keep one inside the printer and the other in the storage case.
Cleaning the print head
Occasionally, the nozzles on the print head may become clogged. If you
notice problems with the print quality, such as horizontal white lines in your
document, you may need to clean the print head. There are three ways to do
this:
m
Press the purge button. For more information about using the purge button,
see “Installing an Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 1.
m
Clean the print head as part of a print request. This is the fastest method of
clearing nozzles. It tells the printer to clean the print head before it starts
printing the next document.
m
Print a test page. This method gives you a test pattern you can evaluate, but
it takes a bit longer.
IMPORTANT Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. If you
repeat the procedure unnecessarily, you reduce the life of your ink tanks.
