Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the Print Head if lines are missing or if horizontal white 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.

Make sure that the power is turned on, and load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain
paper in the Rear Tray.
2.
Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.
