Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least amount of
ink.
It takes about five minutes to complete.
• Head Cleaning B
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about six minutes to complete.
Important
• Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B.
Ink may leak or an error may occur.
• If printing does not improve even if you execute Head Cleaning B, try repeating Head Cleaning B once or
twice. If this still does not improve printing, the Printhead may have reached the end of its useful life. Con-
tact your Canon dealer for assistance.
