Perform Print Head Cleaning

After confirming that the cable is connected and the printer is powered on, perform the following:

1. Open the Printers folder.
   
   
   • For Windows XP select 'Start', 'Control Panel', 'Printers and Other Hardware', and 'Printers and Faxes'.
   • For Windows versions other than Windows XP select 'Start', 'Settings', and 'Printers'.
   
   
2. Right-click the printer icon and select 'Properties'.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Click the Maintenance tab, then click the 'Deep Cleaning' icon.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Deep cleaning uses a lot of ink. Only perform deep cleaning when necessary. Confirm the message, and then click the 'OK' button.
   
   
   
   
5. Confirm the next message to start the deep cleaning.
   
   
   
   
6. The print head deep cleaning will start. Deep cleaning completes when the printer stops. (It will take about two minutes.)
   
   
7. Print another nozzle test pattern. If the pattern still does not print correctly, replace any ink tank that may be low, and then perform another deep print head cleaning.
   
   
8. If printing is still not satisfactory after replacing the ink tanks and deep cleaning the print head, there may be a problem with the print head.
