Note:
Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting

ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example,
if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.

Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head

needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.

When the

B black or

A color ink out light is flashing or on, you

cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge
first.

Do not start the Head Cleaning or Nozzle Check utility while

printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be marred.
