10. Press the

load/eject button again. The printer moves the print

head back to its home position and charges ink in the system.

Caution:
The

P power light continues to flash while the printer performs

the ink charging operation. Never turn off the printer while the

P power light is flashing. Doing so can result in incomplete
charging of ink.

Cleaning the print heads

If print quality diminishes, use the printer’s built-in print head
cleaning cycle to ensure that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.

To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality
declines.

Make sure that the

P power light is on and the

B black and

A color ink out lights are off.

Note:
The print head cannot be cleaned if the

B black or

A color ink out light

is flashing or on. Replace the ink cartridges as needed before proceeding.
