Print Head Cleaning

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the
print head. Use the nozzle check pattern to determine which colors need cleaning. You can save ink by
cleaning only selected colors (control panel only).

Note:

You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it

when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first.
