Description

This article explains how to execute a deep print head cleaning from the operation panel of the PIXMA MG3020 / MG3022.  Note the this will use more ink than a standard cleaning, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary.

 

Solution

If print quality does not improve by the standard cleaning of the print head, clean the print head deeply. Cleaning the print head deeply consumes more ink than the standard cleaning of the print head, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary.
 

  1. Make sure that the power is turned on.
     

  2. Hold down the Stop button until the Alarm lamp flashes three times, then release it immediately.
    The printer starts cleaning the print head deeply.
    The cleaning will be complete when the ON lamp lights after flashing.
    Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the deep cleaning of the print head. This takes about 1 minute.
     

  3. Check the print head condition.
    To check the print head condition, print the nozzle check pattern.
     

If the problem is not resolved, turn off the power and clean the print head deeply again after 24 hours.

If the problem is still not resolved, replace the FINE cartridge with a new one.

If the problem is still not resolved after replacing the FINE cartridge, service is required.
