Solution

Clean the print head if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary.

Note

You can also clean the print head using the computer. When using the computer, select the ink group to clean, then start cleaning.

When cleaning the print head using the button on the printer, the nozzles of all ink colors are cleaned.

Make sure that the power is turned on.
Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button until the POWER lamp flashes once, then release it immediately.

The printer starts cleaning the print head.

The cleaning will be complete when the POWER lamp lights after flashing.

Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the cleaning of the print head. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
Check the print head condition.

Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head condition.

Note

If the problem is not resolved after cleaning the print head twice, clean the print head deeply.
