4. Follow the messages on your screen.
The Pause light of the printer flashes during the cleaning
cycle, which takes about three minutes to complete.
c Caution:
Never turn off the printer until the cleaning cycle is finished
and the Pause light has stopped flashing. Doing so may
damage the printer.
5. When the Pause light is on, click Print nozzle check pattern
(Windows) or the Confirmation button (Macintosh) in the
Head Cleaning dialog box, or print a few lines from a
document, to confirm that the heads are clean.
Nozzle Check Pattern
Good Condition: Print head clean was successful.
Poor condition: Print heads require further cleaning.
Note:
Actual tests are printed in color.
In the check pattern, if you find that segments are still missing
from the test lines, you may need to repeat head cleaning and
print the nozzle check pattern again.
If print quality does not improve even after repeating this
procedure several times, contact your dealer.
