Load a few sheets of plain paper in the product.
Do one of the following:
- Windows: Access the Windows Desktop and right-click the icon for your product in the right side of the Windows taskbar, or click the up arrow and right-click .
- Mac: In the Apple menu or the Dock, select System Preferences. Select Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners, select your product, and select Options & Supplies. Select Utility and select Open Printer Utility.
Select Print Head Cleaning. You see a window like this:
Select Power Cleaning and click Next.
Follow the on-screen instructions to run a Power Cleaning.
When the Power Cleaning is finished, click Print Nozzle Check Pattern and follow the on-screen instructions to print a nozzle check pattern.

If the print quality did not improve, you must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before printing a nozzle check pattern and running another Power Cleaning or Print Head Cleaning.
