Clean Print-heads

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.
