Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal streaks are present in the printed nozzle check
pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head
consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary.
Important
• When performing the print head cleaning, check the free space in the maintenance cartridge. If there•
is not enough free space, replace with the new maintenance cartridge. In the case of shortage of free
space in the maintenance cartridge, a message is displayed and the cleaning cannot be performed.
