Cleaning the Print Heads from Your Computer

The print head cleaning function allows you to clear up clogged print head nozzle. Perform print head

cleaning if printing is faint or a specific color fails to print, even though there is enough ink.

The procedure for cleaning the print head is as follows:

Cleaning

Select Cleaning from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility

Click the Cleaning icon

When the dialog opens, select the ink group for which cleaning is to be performed.

Click to display the items you need to check before performing cleaning.

Execute cleaning

Make sure that the machine is on and then click OK.

Print head cleaning starts.

Complete cleaning

The Nozzle Check dialog opens after the confirmation message.

Check the results

To check whether the print quality has improved, click Print Check Pattern. To cancel the check

process, click Cancel.

If cleaning the head once does not resolve the print head problem, clean it once more.

Important

• Cleaning consumes a small amount of ink.

Cleaning the print head frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply. Consequently, perform

cleaning only when necessary.

Deep Cleaning

Deep Cleaning is more thorough than cleaning. Perform deep cleaning when two Cleaning attempts do

not resolve the print head problem.

1. Select Cleaning from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility

2. Click the Deep Cleaning icon
