Description
This article explains how to execute a deep print head cleaning for the PIXMA TS202 from a Mac.
Solution
Deep cleaning is more thorough than cleaning. Perform deep cleaning when two Cleaning attempts do not resolve the print head problem.
-
Select Utilities from the Remote UI.
-
Click Deep cleaning.
Before running the deep cleaning, check the following items:
Check whether the printer is on and open the printer's cover.
Check the following items for each ink. Then, if necessary, perform Deep cleaning.
- Is there ink remaining in the cartridge?
- Did you push in the ink cartridge completely until you heard a clicking sound?
- If the orange tape is there, has it been peeled off completely?
Any remaining tape will hinder ink output.
- Did you install the ink cartridges in their correct positions?
-
Make sure that the printer is on and then click Yes.
Print head deep cleaning starts.
-
Next, the message for nozzle check pattern printing is displayed.
-
Check the results.
To check whether the print quality has improved, click Yes. To cancel the check process, click No.
Important
- Deep cleaning consumes a larger amount of ink than Cleaning.
Cleaning the print head frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply. Consequently, perform cleaning only when necessary.
