Head-flushing

Follow the procedure below to perform a thorough print-head cleaning. Since this consumes more ink than a normal head cleaning does, perform this when the problem persists after performing a normal head cleaning.

When the Print cartridge is empty, replace it instead of performing a print-head cleaning. After a Print cartridge is replaced, a print-head cleaning will be automatically performed.
