Head-cleaning

Follow the procedure below to perform a normal print head cleaning. Perform a head cleaning when a particular color cannot be printed or print images are blurred. Head cleaning consumes ink.

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.

Important

  • Do not turn off the machine during print head cleaning. If the machine is turned off during print head cleaning, start again from the beginning.
