Cleaning the Print Heads 
The print head cleaning function allows you to remove any blockages in the print head nozzles. Perform
print head cleaning if printing is faint or a specific color fails to print, even though there is enough ink. 
The procedure for cleaning the print heads is as follows: 
 Cleaning 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Click Cleaning on the Maintenance tab 
The Print Head Cleaning dialog box opens. Follow the instruction shown in the dialog box.
Click Initial Check Items to display the items you need to check before performing Cleaning. 
3.Execute cleaning 
Make sure that the machine is on and then click Execute. 
Print head cleaning starts. 
4.Complete cleaning 
Click OK when the confirmation message appears.
Next, the Nozzle Check dialog box opens. 
5.Check the results 
To check whether the print quality has improved, click Print Check Pattern. To cancel the check
process, click Cancel. 
If cleaning the head once does not resolve the print head problem, clean it once more. 
 Deep Cleaning 
Deep Cleaning is more thorough than Cleaning. Perform deep cleaning when two cleaning attempts do
not resolve the print head problem. 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Click Deep Cleaning on the Maintenance tab 
The Deep Cleaning dialog box opens. Follow the instruction shown in the dialog box.
Click Initial Check Items to display the items you need to check before performing Deep Cleaning. 
3.Make sure that the machine is on and then click Execute. 
Click OK when the confirmation message appears. 
Print head deep cleaning starts. 
Important 
Cleaning consumes a small amount of ink. Deep Cleaning consumes a larger amount of ink than
Cleaning.
Cleaning the print heads frequently will rapidly deplete your printers ink supply. Consequently,
perform cleaning only when necessary.

							If there is no sign of improvement after Deep Cleaning, switch off the machine, wait 24 hours, and
then perform Deep Cleaning again. If there is still no sign of improvement, the ink may have run out
or the print head may be worn. For details on the remedial action to be taken, see Machine Moves
But Ink Is Not Ejected
