Cleaning the Print Head Using the Control Panel

You can clean the print head using your product's control panel.

Press and hold the ink button for 3 seconds or more to start the head cleaning process. Head cleaning takes approximately 3 minutes to complete.
When the cleaning cycle is finished, you can check to see if the nozzles are clean by running a nozzle check.
Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines.

Print head needs cleaning
If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, clean the print head again.

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 4 times, wait at least 6 hours. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality still does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may be old or damaged and needs to be replaced.
