See the guidelines here to determine when to perform
maintenance operations on your product, or replace or refill
consumables. If maintenance is not performed, print quality may
decline, the printer's service life may be reduced, or you may be
liable for the cost of any repairs. Always perform maintenance when
a message is displayed on the screen. If you need to perform an
operation, use the links at the end of this topic.
Note: You can set
up certain maintenance operations to run automatically using
settings on your product control panel.
