a Power Cleaning using the control panel on your product.
Note: After
running a Power Cleaning, you must turn off the product and wait at
least 6 hours before printing a nozzle check pattern and running
another Power Cleaning or Print Head Cleaning.

home button, if
necessary. - Select Maintenance. You see a screen like this:

power light flashes throughout
the cleaning cycle and stays on until the nozzle check pattern is
printed. After the nozzle check pattern is printed, you see a
message on the screen.
Caution:Never turn off the product or open the scanner unit during a cleaning cycle or you may not be able to print. - Select OK.
If the print quality did not improve, you must turn off the product and wait at least 6 hours before printing another nozzle check pattern and running another Power Cleaning or Print Head Cleaning.
