Cleaning the printhead nozzles
Poor print quality is sometimes due to clogged printhead nozzles. Clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality
of your prints.
Notes:
• Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.
• Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
• If the ink levels are too low, then you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.
