Print head maintenance ensures the best print quality.
This printer automatically monitors the nozzles and cleans the
printhead at a set time or when it is determined to be necessary.
You can also enable the Maintenance
Cleaning setting to automatically clean the printhead after
a set period of time has passed to keep the printhead in good
condition.
Perform the following maintenance as necessary:
-
Nozzle
Check: Check for clogged nozzles before each print job or if
you have not used the printer for an extended period of time.
Inspect the printed check pattern and clean the print head if you
notice faint or missing areas.
- Head Cleaning: Clean the print
head if you notice faint areas, gaps, streaks, ink drops, or
incorrect colors in your printouts.
- Head Alignment: Align the print
head if your printouts are grainy or out of focus.
