Clean Print-heads (Full)

Follow the procedure below to perform a thorough print-head cleaning. Since this consumes more ink than a normal head cleaning does, perform this when the problem persists after performing a normal head cleaning.

Note

  • When the Print cartridge is empty, replace it instead of performing a print-head cleaning. After a Print cartridge is replaced, a print-head cleaning will be automatically performed.

1Slide the envelope selector to the forward position.

2Open the printer properties dialog box.

3Click the [Maintenance] tab.

4Click [Clean Print-heads (Full)].

5In the [Select print-head(s)] area, select a color.

6Click [Next >].

7Select the [Clean print-heads (full)] check box.

8Click [Next >].

Head cleaning starts.

Note

  • Do not perform another operation before cleaning is complete.

9Click [Finish].

Note

  • To check the condition of print-heads after cleaning, select the [Print nozzle check test pattern] check box, and then click [Next >]. The nozzle check starts.

Note

  • A full print-head cleaning consumes a lot of ink. Perform it only when necessary.

  • A full print-head cleaning may deplete the ink before the Print cartridge is expected to need to be changed.
