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.
❏ You cannot clean the print head while the B
black or
A
color ink
out light is flashing or on. 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.
