Checking and Cleaning the

Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are

missing, or you see light or dark lines across the

page, you may need to clean the print head. This

clears the print head nozzles, which can become

clogged if you do not use the product for a long time.

Tip:

We recommend that you turn on the product at least once a month

to maintain good print quality.

Checking the print head

You can print a nozzle check pattern to see if any

print head nozzles are clogged, or to check the results

after cleaning the print head.

1. Turn off the product.

2. Load A4-size plain paper (& page 8).

3. While holding down the B ink button, press and

hold down the P On button for about three

seconds.

The product turns on and prints a test pattern. It

also shows the percentage of ink left in each

cartridge:

4. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed.

Each staggered line should be solid, with no

gaps, as shown.

■ If your printout looks okay, the print head

does not need to be cleaned yet.

■ If you see any gaps, as shown below, clean

the print head as described in the next

section.

Cleaning the print head

Follow these steps to clean the print head so it can

deliver ink properly. Before cleaning the print head,

run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs

cleaning (& “Checking the print head” on page 20).

Note:

❏ Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.

❏ If the B ink light comes on or flashes, you cannot clean the print

head. You must first replace the appropriate ink cartridge

(& “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 17).

1. Make sure the product is on and the B ink light is

off.

2. Hold down the B ink button for three seconds

until the On light starts flashing. A head cleaning

cycle begins and the On light stays flashing.

c Caution:

Never turn off the product while head cleaning is in progress.

You may damage it.

3. When the On light stops flashing, print a nozzle

check pattern to check the results (& “Checking

the print head” on page 20).

If there are still gaps or the test patterns are faint,

run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles

again.

Note:

If you do not see any improvement after cleaning three or four

times, turn off the product and wait overnight. This lets any

dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If

quality still does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may be

old or damaged and needs to be replaced (& “Replacing Ink

Cartridges” on page 17).

Aligning the Print Head

If you notice that vertical lines are not aligned

properly on the nozzle check printout, you may be

able to solve this problem by aligning the print head.

You can align the print head by pressing the buttons,

or you can run the Print Head Alignment utility from

your computer. For the most accurate alignment, the

utility is recommended.

Follow these steps to align the print head using the

buttons:

1. Make sure the product is turned off.

2. Load A4-size plain paper (& page 8).

3. While holding down the k [Copies] button,

press and hold down the P On button for about

three seconds.

Four rows of alignment patterns are printed.

4. Look at pattern #1 and find the patch that is most

evenly printed, with no noticeable streaks or

lines.

5. Press the k [Copies] button until the number for

that patch appears in the k [Copies] window.

6. Press the x Start D [B&W] button.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of the other

alignment patterns.
