Print Head Cleaning
Clean the Print Head if missing lines or white stripes appear in the nozzle check pattern.
Note that cleaning the Print Head causes waste ink to be absorbed in the waste ink
absorber. Cleaning the Print Head consumes ink, so perform Print Head Cleaning only when
necessary.
z Ensure that the Inner Cover is closed.
