If print head nozzles are still
clogged after cleaning the print head several times, run the
Power Cleaning utility from the
product control panel. This process consumes a lot of ink to clean
the clogged nozzles.
Note: Prepare a
new maintenance box if the current maintenance box is low on space.
If you perform a Power Cleaning more than once, the maintenance box
may fill up sooner than expected. Power cleaning consumes more ink
than a regular head cleaning. Check the ink cartridge levels before
starting a Power Cleaning cycle and prepare new cartridges, as
necessary.
- Load roll or cut sheet paper in the
printer.

Caution:
Never turn off the product during a cleaning

cleaning cycle takes about 5 minutes.
